Back on licences and I’m already thinking of taking it on holiday next year - probably Greece or Italy, and I was just checking up on the regs. Apparently, because we aren’t in the EU any more, you need an operator and flyer ID to fly it in a EU country. If you get one in any EU country, you can use it in the others. With me so far? Well, I've just gone and got a French operators ID and a French flyer ID in the A1 and A3 categories. All for free too! All set now for a bit of EU droning. Obviously you have to comply with local regs as they may all be different but the EU operator and flyer ID is a start!

I think I've got it right!

Sounds right. Some people get the Irish operator and flyer ID's as they are in the EU and the application is in English.

And costs €38!

*French application and test is in English too.

Remember to keep it well away from prison walls
