Our Flying Team were already prepared for some changes in 2020 as they were moving base and flying in new aircraft with new cameras, but Covid-19 had a bigger impact. The team have been able to capture aerial imagery which forms part of a range of activities that are essential to OS and the currency of our data. With good spring weather, quieter skies, faster and reliable aircraft, higher resolution cameras, dedicated pilots and supported by NATS staff efficiently approving our flight plans, we’ve achieved our annual flying target months ahead of plan. Alongside this the team stayed safe and were able to remain socially distanced from the pilots. They also saw some views of a very unusual Britain with empty motorways and car parks, quiet town centres and airports becoming giant parking lots. Here's London with Buckingham Palace and the London Eye on show. The team snap photos on their phones in between surveying targets and we'll share more photos from the team throughout the week. Find out how the team have been working in 2020 at os.uk/blog or head to our stories.
