Brian and Cliff set off, bound for Bognor no special reason but a chance to take a few shots of a construction crane and site Cliff has worked on. 40 minutes later the are back with the captured shots, and great they are too!
Having spent the time & £20 getting the shots perhaphs they can sell for a small return to the construction company or the Architect or the building owners? But no! the law that related to Microlight flying prohibits financial gain, why?
Well I don't know why not? It may because the ariel photo folks who charge £500 a hour get upset at 20 pounds an hour flying?
Is it because the pilots or machines are see as somehow sub standard? Or may be it's because the authorities are unable or unwilling to write a law that differentiates between paying passengers , flying cargo , teaching & taking photos.
Is it's time to change laws that are practically unworkable?
