englishal,
I've heard the bed's a bit hard, though. And they take your shoelaces away before tucking you in for the night.
Alex, there is a prohibition on operating an aircraft near public gatherings in the Air Navigation Order, CAP393. Glastonbury in particular is usually NOTAM'd to remind folk about this.

If you dispute this, you also infer that "public gatherings" such as the F1 Grand-prix ,this weekend at Silverstone and the Goodwood Revival weekind,among many others, all allow huge illegal air-traffic movements.
This is patently not the case, therefore,the answer should be,-
"Yes, subject to permissions and legal compliances."

Cockney Steve, Fair point. But to me, "dropping in" suggests a casual arrival, should it be a nice day, or if one might feel like it on the day.
