London Drone ban during Obama Visit (Thursday-Sunday)

Although this has also been covered in another thread, it is a bit buried in one specialist area, whereas it applies to us all if we wanted to fly in the banned area.  There is a map in the articles in the links below:

As a matter of idle interest, are the same restrictions applied when the Queen or PM fly in and out of Northolt etc, or is this something special for Obama?:rolleyes:

Can anybody point to why this won't also ban:

  • Paper aeroplanes
  • Children holding (let alone releasing) balloons
  • Flying a small toy kite (e.g. one of those "world's smallest kite" toys street hawkers sell) on a short (e.g. 3m long) line
  • Blowing a dandelion seed head.
  • Wedding confetti (is not aerodynamics fundamental to the movement of each piece)
  • Fabric flags (are these not kites on a zero length line?)

I've looked, but I can't see exemptions for these ridiculous cases - indeed I can only see explicit inclusions for the kite one.

Be aware, the odd expletive on the audio.

It's not the drones that Mr. Obama has to worry about.

 

It is the 173rd Airborne.
