I was in the vicinity of Newquay Airport on Tuesday afternoon trying to keep my seven year old grandson happy. We watched a Jet 2 757 make repeated approaches, they seem to use our uncrowded airspace here in Cornwall quite often and as far as I know they reported no problems arising from misuse of a drone .
We moved on to the Cornwall Aviation Centre Museum and saw the ATR 72 land midafternoon. Cornwall is awash with tourists at this time of the year and the Newquay area is currently even busier than usual with the Boardmasters Surfing Competitions underway. Let's hope the idiot that did this can be apprehended but the police have a real task on their hands to sort this out it seems to me.
Some months ago I noted a drone operating over our street in a village here in Cornwall. Many weeks later I was approached at home by a fellow trying to flog air to ground photos of our property. The drone was operated at perhaps eighty to one hundred feet. Was this legal ?
