BBC One Show – Alex Jones – Mother of All Challenges
We were hired to film aerials for the BBC One Show’s Mother of All Challenges with Alex Jones for Sports Relief at Dorny Lake which was the venue for the 2012 Olympic Rowing.
The shots were used for the event promotion and general advertising, One Show and Sports Relief social media campaigns. Full details about the challenge can be viewed on the Sports Relief website here: www.sportrelief.com/news-and-tv/mother-of-all-challenges

Drone Terminology Explained: What the Words in a UK Quotation Mean
A quotation for aerial survey work arrives carrying an operating category, an authorisation reference, a competence certificate and a class mark, and it is tempting to skip past all of it to the price.
