Today was a great day to demonstrate Quantum-Systems Trinity VTOL drone to ARPAS-UK, the UK Drone Association Anna-Lise. Weather NW F3 gusting F4-5. I'm sure there are many mutually beneficial experiences to be shared after today.

High risk bridge building education to my 8 year old son using Jenga blocks and beer mats @ClevedonTap. Any excuse for a beer!

During Quantum-Systems Advanced Pilotage Training this morning we were shown how to use a contour base map and the "corridor planning" element to survey a steep alpine valley side with Trinity. Even with terrain following this was still a challenging survey area.

Half of Quantum-Systems international resellers (including Dronesurv for the UK) receiving some Advanced Flight Training (the other half were on Maintenance). Trinity was demonstrated safely flying an unaided Visual Line of Sight flight out to 1.2km within 2.5km of an airfield.

DroneSurv's Pilot and Maintenance Engineer (Matthew) receiving training to maintain, replace and repair Quantum-Systems Trinity. If you buy a #vtoldrone TrinityF9 or F90+ from us in the UK you will be assured of the best possible after sales assistance.

At the 2012 EIGConference I won an Estwing hammer donated by Eddie Bailey from Aggregate Industries. At the time I said I would hold it for whichever of my 3 children showed an interest in geology. Today the hammer was given to my youngest child (aged 1 when I won it).

This was an interesting local job for us but with no income due to Covid closure we’ve not charged them and are now an official sponsor!

For some reason (technical muppetry) JustGiving only accessed my Company Twitter ("X") account so I've simply re-tweeted! Many thanks to ClevedonPier for allowing a departure photograph from their Pier.

Loving this year’s The Olympic Games. Wonder if 4 points for gold, 3 for silver, 2 for bronze, and 1 for 4th (semi finalists) wouldn’t make a better table calculation though. Reflects the team effort better than just golds.
