    Now I don't agree with the instant Daily Wail froth that occurs when the word "drone" is mentioned on the pages of these fora, and think they have a place in videoing steam, but this is a piece of foolish flying, over the top of and along the wires.

    Agreed, it's asking for trouble and soon someone is going to slip up, or perhaps down, and they will be in deep whatsits....

    Video is moving pictures with sound, however good the pictures are, no sound = waste of time.

    For once I actually agree with you, that is complete lunacy!

    Had I said, "It will be down here and ready - piece of cake" it would have thrown a rod just to spite me.

    Same people that uploaded that clip also have one filmed flying under a road bridge that crosses the River Nene at Orton Mere. Drones aren't supposed to fly within 50 metres of a structure and that bridge looks lower than that.

    Departure will be live and for those outside of the UK the stream on watchallchannels seems to be the best without having to sign up and annoying pop ups
