Restricted airspace over Plymouth

People who fly drones in an area around Plymouth on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon will be committing a criminal offence.

The only exception will be for the police.

The annual National Fireworks Championships are taking place, meaning flying is to be restricted.

Police have issued a map of the restricted airspace, which has been authorised by the Civil Air Aviation and the Department of Transport.

Drones are banned between 3 p.m. on each of the two days of the event, through to 1 a.m the following morning.
