    Rules about flying in the U.K

    Well said waylander. The regulations certainly are open to interpretation. As long as it's not commercial work I think as long as you fly with regard for others your pretty safe legally.

    Rules about flying in the U.K

    Someone may be along to clear it up a bit shortly I'm in work so can't go into it at the moment. For the reason above (wedding filming) I'd say go for it as long as the church above are happy and the guests are aware and less than 1000 of them then you could. What I'd be concerned about is your...

    what gps tracker to use in case of loss

    I've not tried it live yet as I'm awaiting the holder to arrive from China soon as it's here ill head out. Tried it at home and it worked. Easy to setup and configure with a sim card. Very simple operation just ring to text the sim and it will reply with its coordinates

    Commercial licence for work that could be considered to be of commercial use(UK)

    If your not getting paid then its not work I would say. Have to ask the question though if its a government agency then they have deep pockets and lots of contacts needs be let them get a professional licensed drone pilot in for the footage.
