Each one of these amazing photographs of Britain were taken using a drone.
The stunning countryside of Great Britain is shown in these photos, from Somerset’s breathtaking agricultural scenes to rural Scotland’s jaw-dropping beauty.
These photos are entries to a competition entitled Shot On My Drone, which is run by Civila Aviation Authority (CAA).
There are more than 300,000. Britons who fly model and drone aircraft. However, research from the CAA has shown that 20 percent of those surveyed and half the public don’t know that approval of an organisation is required to fly one in a city or town.
Jonathan Nicholson is the assistant communications chief at the CAA. He said that #ShotOnMyDrone will showcase the amazing images taken by UK drone users. It also reminds everyone to follow our Dronecode, and be safe while flying drones.
Each category’s winners will see their photos displayed at the London headquarters of UK Royal Aeronautical Society.
This competition will be open through January 31, 2022. You can register at caadronecomp.uk.
