Robert Dobbin Drone Pilot Instructor visits a local primary school Glasswater Primary School.
I was delighted to be welcomed to a local primary school in Crossgar, Glasswater Primary School, I delivered a presentation as part of the ‘Drones for Schools’ by Drone Schools Register. The children got to see all the different pieces of my drone equipment and asked many questions before I flew my drone around the classroom! A big thank you to Glasswater Primary School for having me, and I know the children really enjoyed the presentation.
Raise Money For Your School
Being vetted, knowledgeable and experienced I can take aerial pictures of your school which children’s parents can then buy. This is a fantastic way for a school to raise money. Because I fly high with my drone such a great height with my drone, there are is abundance of great picture opportunities which can be explored when photos are being taken by an drone.
