Скачать или смотреть Bass' Recreation Ground Derby by drone - Flood alleviation scheme. Sept 2022 | 4K

There has been a lot going on at Bass's rec in the last few months, trees have been cleared to reveal the old Mill fleam so that a pumping station can be installed to prevent flooding.

In my drone flight I will show you a current view of Bass’ Recreation Ground, this park was given to the people of Derby by Michael Thomas Bass, MP of Derby 1847-1883 (grandson of the founder of the famous brewery from Burton on Trent).

This land carries a covenant which restricts its use to “be forever used and enjoyed by the inhabitants of the Borough of Derby for public play and recreation.”

The land is 4 ½ hectares and contains a skate park and in the past has often been used by circuses and events such as Derby Feste. This triangle of land is surrounded on the north side by the river Derwent, to the west by the inner ring road (A601) and on the south by Station Approach (A6).
There are two footbridges which connect to this land, one takes you over the Mill fleam and one takes you over the river Derwent.

This is a little drone flight I did over the area so you can see what it looks like now (Sept 2022).

60 trees were felled as part of plans for the next stage of the city's Our City Our River (OCOR) flood defence project. They have been cleated ready for the erection of a pumping station to protect Derby from future flooding as part of a £95 million project.

The exposed former Mill race is used to take the culverted Markeaton Brook to the River Derwent.
Some people have assumed this was the old Derby Canal but its not, The Derby canal ran parallel to this mill race. Markeaton brook goes into a culvert at Ford Street (behind Agard street) and passes under the city and emerges here to connect with the Derwent.

Best viewed on a large computer screen or smart TV as this is recorded in 4K resolution with great music so a real waste watching it on a small phone screen. Did you know you can cast it to your smart tv from the YouTube app?

Information on my drone flying :
● My drone is a Class C0 drone sub-250g type, because its such a lightweight drone (236g), I'm allowed to fly it over residential and commercial property and people (but not crowds) without permission.
● I passed the theory test and have both valid flyer ID and Operator ID's.
● I have drone insurance (£5 million public liability insurance cover).
● I strictly follow all the CAA guidelines on flying my drone.
● I always fly in Cinematic mode (slow speed) as this is safer in urban environments.
● I plan all of my flights in advance of taking off to ensure I know my complete flight path and am aware of any obstacles in the way.
● In order to maintain VLOS (visual line of sight) with my drone I use extremely bright Strobe lights, if there are trees or buildings in my way then I have to land and carry on from a different location this means that I often have to join bits of flights together, I try and line up edits using telemetry to match altitude and position etc. but its not always possible to get good joins in clips so this can mean jump cuts and fades between clips.
● I carry out a risk assessment before each flight and ensure all batteries fully charged, GPS has a good fix etc.
● I always engage with anyone nearby informing them the reason for my flight.


Thanks
Andy
