Illegal drone flight near Norwich Castle leads to police action

A drone operator who flew his craft close to Norwich Castle, hovering above a busy city centre, has been "given words of advice" by police after it was shared to thousands of people on Facebook.

The flight footage, posted on 11 August, is not permitted under Civil Aviation Authority guidelines for a non-licensed pilot.

It is the first time concern over a drone flight has been reported to Norfolk Police after it was seen on social media, the force said.
