The next flight we are happy to show you is of the iconic Calstock Viaduct located along the Tamar River. Anyone familiar with Calstock knows that it is a very unique village with a great atmosphere and over the years I have taken many photos of this viaduct; beautiful sunsets, firework displays and sunny summer days, so it was definitely something we wanted to capture with our drone, to get a perspective people haven't seen before!
We decided to travel to the opposite side of the viaduct from Calstock as the fields on this side of the water were perfect for taking off safely. This meant driving to Bere Alston and hoping a farmer would let us in their field! Luckily for us everything went according to plan and we met one of the farmers that ever so kindly let us into their field that was situated directly under the viaduct.
We had only just got up in the air when the train started travelling over the bridge, with some initial "TRAIN, GO GO GO! ...QUICK!" we got in the right position and filmed a stunning tracking shot of the train going over the viaduct. As well as providing a stunning backdrop for our footage the viaduct also proved to be a great flight training course with plenty of obstacles and blind spots to navigate.
