Thanks, yes I'm well aware about drone limits
I was under the impression that the reason for the 400 ft limit for unmanned aircraft was because manned aircraft weren't supposed to fly below 500 ft. So, in theory, we shouldn't come into each others airspace (with the obvious exceptions of military and airports etc.). But clearly its not quite as black and white as that so its good to know the actual rule.

Possibly. Either that or they've been taken over by someone else? I looks like there's a couple at Conington which might be my best bet although still over an hour away so not all that much closer than Beccles

There's a nice looking one at Andrewsfield too which is 5 mins down the road from where I work. I've spoken to them a few times as some of our fields fall within their FRZ and they seem friendly, so I might pop down and get a trial flight in a Cessna at some point, maybe it'll sway me haha
