Daniel Cesare flew the device day and night, despite the air space being restricted
A man has been fined almost £1,500 for flying a drone over one of the country’s busiest airports to get footage of a festival. Daniel Cesare flew the device in the prohibited airspace above East Midlands Airport to get footage of this year’s Download Festival, held at neighbouring Donington Park in Castle Donington, Leicestershire.
He also admitted the same charges, as well as a charge of failing to display a registration number on his device, relating to June 10, with the festival running from June 8 to June 11. Following sentencing, PC Stephen Booth, from Derbyshire Constabulary’s Drones Team, said: “Cesare showed, on two occasions, a complete disregard for the rules around flying a drone.
“Laws surround the flying of a drone for a reason, they are to keep the pilot and those around the flight path as safe as possible.
