Well the wreck is sitting on a mud bank and the tidal flow disturbs it, doesn't look great though does it!

Yes my helmsman held her well why I flew the little drone, he soon returned to his usual mode once it was gathered back aboard! HNY to you too and thank you for your comment.

@@PBphotos and just to be clear - hope my "slowly" didn't come across as a critique. Meant it as a complimentary contrast to all the high-tech foiling "things" these days (which, I have to admit, I"m also a bit of a sucker for too🙃). Cheers!

@@oceannesailor no worries 😉.

They were to be removing the masts late last year but it never happened. I'm afraid you will never see a clearer view of the wreck due to its location on the mud bank.

@@PBphotos Not like the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Well, I think i plan to go back to the UK for some London Fuller and maybe have another peak at the Big Richard! Thanks for your response.

Just mud being shifted by the tidal current.

Should be around now shouldn't it, I've not heard of any recent updates though?

I tried a few things using Davinci Resolve, it just created too much noise. The photos I took were great, as I could lift the shadows without creating noise.

@@PBphotos Well, then you need a higher class copter :-)

@@prekarialist I'll try raising the ISO next time, see if that works, if not it will be time to upgrade 😉.

@@PBphotos 8K HDR ! 😏

Thank you, its tricky keeping smooth flying from a boat, even worse when you have to land it back 🙄.

@@PBphotos Don't try RTH then 😉😉

@@robodrone5662 haha..... no never!

Yes a lot seemed to happen in those few short minutes! I caught the Waverley the following week on the River Medway, which I will share on here soon.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thank you 👍.

My first time trying it out, I'm hoping for a better broadcast on the next one!

Lovely old boats aren't they.

Thank you.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Thank you, I appreciate that 👍.

Hi Steve, the Mini 2 will handle a decent breeze quite easily, I've flown in winds of over 20mph, the difficult bit is landing it back on the boat ! I only fly from the boat in breezes around or below 10 -15 knots.

Thank you Ricci, all good practice for catching the yachties this season 👍.

Thank you very much, its always tricky choosing the music, I thought the footage worked well with this track.

It was a Roman fortress originally and has a lot of history including when it was dismantled. It now faces a battle against sea erosion, it will be a shame to lose it as it is such a prominent building on the north coast of Kent.

Thank you and yes I agree we should 👍.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Yes they had various slogans and mottos displaying, I couldn't resist putting the drone up. It would have been nice to have caught it under darkness too.

Thank you 👍.

Thank you I appreciate that.

Done 👍. Yeah it took me a while to get my confidence back and haven't experienced anything like it since. The Mini had a mind of its own on that day!

Yes she was used at Dunkirk in the second World War...a famous boat for the local people here. .

It is lovely isn't it, I would love to do some sailing around that area.

@@PBphotos definitely, we did some canoeing around there last year which was fantastic, sailing would be even better! About 4-5 days to get there from the Medway though 😩

@@sailingsummerbreeze I'm sure it would be a fun passage, imagine the amount of boat beer reviews 🍻

Thank you, it was tricky just standing still in the wind & rain.

@@PBphotos Yes. But worth the end result !

Thank you for your comment.

I lost one when it refused to hand land, we think it was a local radar tower that interfered. Since then I've bought a catching handle from eBay, it does the job 👍. Have a search, it came from HK, less than £10 and it is very light. There wasn't a Mini 2 version so I bought the Mavic Air one and it fits perfectly.

@@PBphotos Awesome tip, didn't know that existed.

It can be as we have to be careful not to run aground when the tide is ebbing.....it's a long wait then for the water to flood again !

That is the simplest answer isn't it? There were three of us there who would disagree! It's a shame the flight wasn't recorded to the phone cache as it always did previously.

Well DJI blamed me for losing the drone after they looked at the records, that was before I found out about the radar tower with this flight. Thanks for the sub, I have subbed you back. We have friends that live in Kwiana, who we have visited twice and might see again next year, if are allowed to travel back to Aus 😎. We love WA.

@@PBphotos our Premier has hinted April next year for our borders to come down. If you do get to visit let me know, and we can catch up for a drink

@@droningwesternaustralia we are probably going to wait until around October next year, hopefully when everything has returned to some sort of normality 👍.

Thank you 👍
