After logging my drone flight and gaining the relevant authorisation from Larkhill / Salisbury operations I then obtained a lovely orbital flight around Stonehenge on the 2nd June 2024.
My only spoiling point was having to educate the Police regarding the laws on drones and my flight in question as the English Heritage security thought they owned the airspace as well as the land, however the Police were both polite and very accommodating and professional, understanding that I knew the drone law and that I had carried out due diligence and all relevant checks.
I'm happy enough with my footage but I will be returning as my flight was cut short due to having to return my drone to then have the conversation with the police in a safe manner, I would suggest to any potential drone flyers in this area be aware that you maybe confronted, so please be prepared and make sure you obtain the correct flight permission from Salisbury operations if doing an orbital flight over the stones and into their airspace.
In conclusion from my experience is that the VIP tours are going on continuously from 5am to 9pm and the stewards if they spot your drone in the air will try to obstruct any lovely footage you may want to obtain of just the stones on there own, please don't let them intimate or badger you just stay on public land at all times and engage when your ready to safely do so.
I hope this helps and please don't let this put you off flying at Stonehenge if you want to ask me any questions please feel free to contact me.
