there's no drone flying allowed over
0:02
this area at all I'm afraid Usually we
0:04
don't allow drones on our site

Hey up and welcome to the
0:17
channel Today we're near York in
0:20
Elington at the Yorkshire Air Museum
0:24
come to have a quick look at this
0:28
place And the Yorkshire Air Museum and
0:31
Allied Forces Air
0:33
Memorial is one of the UK's largest
0:36
independent aviation museums situated on
0:39
this former RAF
0:43
site which was a significant World War
0:46
II bomber base The museum honors the
0:48
legacy of Allied Air Forces particularly
0:51
those who served in the Second World War
0:53
Its expansive collection spans from
0:56
early aviation pioneers to cold war era
0:59
jet featuring over 50
1:01
aircrafts including the handley page
1:04
Halifax mark the Victor tanker the
1:06
dassel mirage 4 and the museum also pre
1:10
preserves original wartime structures
1:12
such as a 1942 RAF control tower and it
1:16
provides visitors with an immersive
1:18
historical
1:19
experience and I want to get a picture
1:22
on the drone today of their notable
1:25
exhibit which is the Vulcan B2
1:29
bomber and it was part of the UK's
1:32
nuclear
1:33
deterrent and the Vulcan was designed
1:35
without any defensive weaponry relying
1:37
on its high speed and high altitude
1:39
capabilities to avoid
1:41
interception but from what I've seen
1:43
since I pulled up I think there is a
1:44
load of scaffolding around it so they
1:47
are they are doing some work on it so
1:50
we'll have a look from the outside what
1:52
we can see from the entrance and then we
1:54
will put the drone up and fly
1:57
over and have a look at the planes which
2:00
are outside But before we do that we
2:02
will go let reception know which is that
2:05
I'm going to be doing that so they are
2:08
aware that there's a drone going and be
2:09
flying
2:10
around And on the
2:13
outside you have got your signage for
2:15
your entrance police dogs in
2:18
training
2:20
and a ministry of
2:23
war So yeah it's quite
2:31
interesting This building here in front
2:33
of me is Area 51 That's pretty cool
2:37
isn't it
2:39
[Music]
2:41
So so we will push the bike
2:45
down to
2:48
reception We'll have a look at what we
2:50
can see on the way down And there is a
2:53
load of supercars going up and down the
2:55
old
2:57
runway So we might get a glimpse of them
3:00
on the drone as well
3:02
[Music]
3:07
is a quality assured visitor
3:12
[Music]
3:16
attraction And here we do have one of
3:18
the
3:22
memorials Squadron Royal Air
3:26
Force So we'll carry on down to our
3:28
missions and car park and let them know
3:30
what we'll be doing from the public
3:31
footpath
3:53
So we've got a chapel there with a big
3:54
cross on it where the
3:57
Padre will do the services when it was a
4:00
camp We have got a few little planes
4:02
through there that look pretty cool on
4:04
the drone You can see them Not pulling
4:07
the handheld out down here cuz there is
4:10
a few children
4:12
about I don't want to be filming
4:17
them I will avoid them as much as I
4:32
can We will ride the bike out of the car
4:35
park though and not in I think we've got
4:39
a
4:40
Spitfire just there
4:44
Not 100% cuz I can't see the sign and I
4:47
don't want to take the
4:49
mick
4:53

[Music]
9:04
Hello Um this is Jack He's one of the
9:07
man just come in Jack and said to me
9:09
that he's around in the area and he's
9:11
going to be doing some drone flying
9:14
around here and around outside Now I
9:16
know from that Ian has explicitly said
9:19
in the past there is no drone flying
9:21
around in this area at all and the
9:23
gentleman is contested now So I'll leave
9:24
it in your very capable of course mate
9:27
Thank you very much Um are you here as a
9:29
visitor to the museum Um I'm not I'm not
9:31
coming I've only come down just to let
9:32
them know that if they see it it's
9:33
nothing to panic about cuz I'm going to
9:34
be out in the public footpath at the far
9:36
end outside the gates Right So you're
9:38
going to be So you're not you're not
9:39
visiting the site No So I've just I'm
9:41
just in the area I saw it looked pretty
9:43
cool So I thought I'd make a little
9:44
video on it cuz I find it interesting
9:46
I've just come in just to let your staff
9:48
know that if they see a drone it's
9:49
nothing to worry about It's just me
9:51
outside so you know where I'll be So
9:52
it's not just going to be a rogue drone
9:54
Are you aware the the airfield I mean
9:56
they're not landing today but yeah I've
9:58
checked it all out on the on the apps
10:00
It's only a yellow zone It says just be
10:02
aware of aerial vehicles So there's no
10:03
no fly zones in the area Okay Usually we
10:06
don't allow drones on our site I said
10:09
I'm not going to be on your site I'm
10:10
going to be offsite on the public And is
10:12
the drone going to be off site as well
10:14
It's going to be coming over over the
10:15
top but I need to keep it in line of
10:17
sight So I need to be able to see it at
10:18
all times but it's going to be coming
10:20
over over the fence Right At what what
10:23
height Uh between 20 and 120 m Okay Cuz
10:27
we've got aerials like radio aerials and
10:30
mass Yeah So cuz I need to see the drone
10:32
I'll be able to see where they are so I
10:34
can avoid them I'll be hiding them
10:35
probably as well I mean we we we we
10:37
usually say no drones on the site at all
10:40
you know and and there has to be usually
10:43
we have a filming agreement Yeah To to
10:45
sign Um and that's that's arranged in
10:48
advance Yeah For our marketing
10:49
communications manager who's not here
10:51
today
10:53
Um so I picked a good day then didn't I
10:56
Well yeah Usually things like this are
10:58
arranged in advanced Yeah It's just just
11:00
in the area So I'm not going to be on
11:01
your site I'm going to be in on public
11:03
So it's not going to be So I'm not going
11:05
to be really if you're taking up on
11:08
private property you need permission I'm
11:09
going on public property so I don't need
11:10
the permission Yeah Okay Yeah So what
11:13
I'm saying is we do have like aerials
11:15
radio aerials and things Yeah I'll be
11:17
able to avoid them massively So be a lot
11:19
higher than them We usually say that you
11:21
know if if 20 foot is your lowest our
11:24
radio aerials are a lot higher Oh no I
11:25
say I I can be a meter high but say the
11:28
highest I can go is 120 with the CIA
11:31
legislation Of course Yeah But what I'm
11:32
saying is we have we have aerials and we
11:34
have buildings that are within those
11:36
limits Yeah So I don't want it's damage
11:38
caused to to those I don't want to
11:40
damage I don't want to damage my drone
11:42
either I understand that but there's the
11:43
risk isn't there Yeah I've got public
11:46
liability insurance as well just in case
11:48
Can I can I see a copy of it Um yeah cuz
11:51
I mean usually anyone that comes on site
11:52
we we request a copy of their public
11:54
liability and if you're flying a drone
11:56
over our site then I'd appreciate seeing
11:59
a copy of it if you would mind If I can
12:00
find all my emails Yeah I'll let you say
12:02
it but if I can't find it usually stuff
12:04
like this is arranged in advance for a
12:06
marketing communication manager So all
12:07
this would be in place usually before
12:10
just kind of turning up on site and and
12:12
you know filming So um if you are if you
12:15
are able to do that through our proper
12:17
channels I'd appreciate that more But I
12:20

but um we we usually you know they have
14:52
their flight lines that they stick to
14:53
They don't come anywhere near the museum
14:55
so they stick on the other side of the
14:56
runway Um because previously we have had
14:58

20:35
[Music]
20:37
cars going on the airfield
20:40

20:43
at the
20:47
[Music]
21:03
Vulcan or the Victor as he said it was
21:09
[Music]
21:12
I'm quite intrigued to have a look at
21:15
the time lapse
21:18
video as as I always put a link
21:21
to the Elbert and Air Museum website in
21:24
the
21:26
description I'll also try and find a
21:29
link directly to the time lapse and put
21:32
that in the description too
21:53
I've been here about 10 years ago now I
21:55
think it was They've got other
21:58
exhibits in these sheds which is where
22:01
the Lancaster is if it's in the same
22:04
place as it was last time I was
22:22
here We zoomed in a little bit now to
22:24
have a look
22:34
That's why the footage is a little bit
22:36
jumpy because of how zoomed in I
22:40
am Let's try an emergency
22:49
[Music]
22:54
vehicle There's your car
22:56
park There's your
23:00
hurricane and some other military
23:03
vehicles like an
23:05
APC and that looks like a big bomb Can't
23:09
remember the name of that
23:12
one See if I can find a
23:18
tank There it
23:23
is Right So I'll zoom out again and
23:26
we'll come back to where we started
23:37
[Music]
23:54
I'll see if I can zoom in a little bit
23:56

24:51
sight But
24:53

24:55
any super cars
24:59
[Music]
25:09
I'm going to stay quite high out the way
25:11
for this so I don't distract the people
25:13
driving I'm not going to go directly
25:15
over them
25:23
either
25:27
There is your Elington airfield runway
25:32
By all accounts it is long enough to be
25:36
used as an emergency landing strip for
25:40
the space shuttle when that was
25:43
about And it's where Richard Hammond had
25:46
his accident with Top
25:51
Gear So zoom in a little bit on these
25:54
cars
