Photos captured drone being flown near Hurricane

A man who flew a drone close to a Hurricane aircraft while thousands of people were standing underneath has been prosecuted.

Mark Bagguley used his drone to film Buxton Carnival despite knowing a flypast was due to take place.

The 49-year-old, who is from Chatsworth Road in Fairfield, Derbyshire, was caught after a member of the public captured the drone on camera while photographing the Hurricane.
