If they were closer than 500ft to persons or a structure, they have committed an offence. Now hands up, who has never committed a breach of the law, doesn't matter how trivial. My hands are down.
What the PIC should have elected to do was, go out to the middle of the estuary or miles from anywhere. It seems he/she didn't so they must face the consequences.

If the water in that video was sea or brackish, I'd be wary of buying - thin metal will easily suffer unacceptable corrosion. Best checked after a considerable time, to allow for any salt to have acted.

Maoraigh1 - I recall that Safran (turbine manufacturer) consider any place not more than 60 miles from the coast a "high salt environment" as a result of which regular (weekly) turbine washes are needed. Of course, getting into sea spray or landing on a beach is likely even higer on the list of things that will rot your machine.
