Grangemouth's Industrial landscape : Part 1

A drone flight around Grangemouth's main industrial complex's taking in the oil refinery, the docks, Kinneil FPS plant, KG plant & Versalis rubber plant.
All footage filmed from public areas using a mini 2 (sub 250g) drone.
Although legal to do so and no flight restrictions in place I chose not to fly directly over any of the sites.

Looks very different these days. I worked there for 25 years in the drawing office and made many drawings of all of these areas. Great video. Thanks

[@coconutislanddrones]

Thanks. It has changed a bit over the years.

[@stillightdrones]

Great video. I love industrial. Nice smooth flying. I was in Mitchell's yard last week.

[@coconutislanddrones]

Thanks. Could have flown directly over any of the sites but made a decision not to.

[@PedroMcMahon]

Cool shots. amazed you got permission to fly. Ineos didn't want me filming. I have been trying but can't get it for security reasons and flying over houses, main roads etc.

[@coconutislanddrones]

Ineos do not own nor control the airspace therefore you don't need permission from them for anything. The CAA control the airspace and they decide where aircraft can fly. They deem this airspace as open so you can fly in it. If I wanted to I could have flown directly over the site but decided not to as having worked there I know the dangers involved.

Hey there, amazing video! Could I take a short clip from this for my Journalism TV package to talk about the oil refinery? With credit given of course! Thanks

[@coconutislanddrones]

Thank you. Yes of course you can.

Simple 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 what a piece of 🎬

[@coconutislanddrones]

Thank you very much mate.

[@JuanAlmighty]

Wow!

[@NorrieMacTHESMOG]

[@RuthCampbell123]

some size of a place .

[@cannybearsed]

You completely missed the Earls Road!

[@coconutislanddrones]

That's for another time. To include that area would have doubled the length of the video.

[@cannybearsed]

@coconutislanddrones Okay, in that case, your title is misleading. Earls Road works have been there for 105 years, far longer than the subject you filmed.

In the year 1997, Skynet was activated. 6 Billion lives lost in the blink of an eye because some machine saw humans as a risk to itself. Judgement Day vibes lol!

[@ANGRY-VELO]

Skynet is just science fiction. It didn’t really happen it was just a franchise of films called Terminator.

[@coconutislanddrones]

Brilliant lol
