[QUOTE="IanSR, post: 54227, member: 10446"] just take off from common land 50 meters from anything and stay at least 50 meters up and within half a k of you and then there is nothing legally they can do, nobody owns the the airspace above their house, it's a myth. I live right on the edge of a housing estate with common land (where lots of dog walkers walk) opposite, I've done several flyovers over the estate and nobody is even aware, let alone objected, at 100 meters up you can't see or hear sparky unless it's getting dark, and I'd imagine by the time anybody does object and calls the cops, by the time they arrive I'll be long gone, they can't even be bothered to bust the drug dealer living down the road, so what hope they'll catch up with someone never in the same place twice. The new laws coming in next month actually make it easier for us to fly, I've been asked for my license a few times,cI just flash my BMFA membership card and that tends to shut them up (since the first bit they read is the £25Mil public liability insurance). It always makes me laugh when people complain we are invading their privacy, usually while they're stood under a cctv camera. I don't bother asking permission, I just have a simplified version of the drone code printed off ready for the NIMBY's and use a bit of common sense over where and when to fly (early mornings is best for these historic places since security hasn't gone on shift yet).
