Today, by prior arrangement, this drone caused quite a stir by flying over and filming the water tower and the station buildings generally.   Our frontage was the launch site for the drone, controlled by a pilot and a camera operator.   The sun did not oblige but the windspeed was a flat calm. Astonishing flying skills and camerawork, visible on two monitors on the ground.  Watch this space for some spectacular views of the water tower from high above and around.
