Help needed with aerial photography.

[clifftop]

Aside from my 'day job', I am a welfare officer for the City of Liverpool Branch of the Royal British Legion.

Our Chairman has plans to have silhouettes of people painted in black water colour paint on the pavement of Church Street in Liverpool city centre to commemorate the 17000 people from Liverpool who were killed in WWI. This will be in July or August.

It is my intention to ask the head honchos at Ravenair if they could do us a huge favour and take some photos of the work.

Any suggestions as to how best to go about this??

Cheers all.

Cliff.

Clifftop, the man you want at Ravenair is Wayne Barret, he may be able to help as it is in a good cause. The other alternative is one of the Flying schools. Regards Beemer.

You could also try to get hold of someone who has a camera on a remote control helicopter

Similar to one that filmed HMS Dragon, this would be a much cheaper option

Thanks, Brian. I'll give that a go...

A cracking idea, Ian. Thank you.

I imagine that the route with RVR could be the cost effective way to go. Pretty sure the cost of hire of the UAV will far exceed the RVR route. I would hope anyone who takes the opportunity to help with this would be able to do a freebie as long as the publicity was given.

I can state without doubt that Ravenair would get some serious positive publicity, I have acquired Mr Barrett's email address.... I'll keep you informed.
