Putting this on record because I've been contacted a couple of times. Yes, the flight to capture HMS Glasgow was undertaken in a no fly zone. Yes, it was near the airport. However, it also had full permission and police awareness. The footage and imagery is legal.

Very rare drone update here on HMS Glasgow due to this location being in the airport flight restriction zone.

Re: Current & Future Escorts - General Discussion
I was told that options are being explored to do so. Thanks. Additional T26 or the Adaptable Strike Frigate for the T32?

I was there today with my drone as the forward end of HMS Cardiff, the second Type 26 Frigate, has emerged from BAE Systems’ build hall in Glasgow for the first time. The aft section will follow in the coming days as the company’s engineers prepare to join the whole ship together. CARDIFF-DRONE.jpg ...
