flyingbear will provide you with affordable aerial still images and video footage for an almost infinite range of applications. Whether marketing a property, surveying crops or historic buildings or a special present to mark an important occasion, flyingbear will tailor its service to your needs. We are based just north of Marlborough near Royal Wootton Bassett in the heart of the stunning Wiltshi
re countryside. We operate using Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), sometimes known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). These are remote controlled multi-rotor helicopters that can carry a high definition camera. They are relatively small machines that are able to take-off and land from confined areas such as private gardens. They are powered by quiet electric motors, therefore minimizing disturbance to neighbours or nearby livestock. Where possible we will charge the batteries from our own solar panels, thus reducing cost and impact on the environment. Ayhan Dawood, the Remote Pilot (RP) gained his Private Pilot’s Licence in 1992. Since then he has logged hundreds of hours in single engine aircraft in the UK as well as France, Kenya, Bahamas and the USA. Buried somewhere in a pile of cardboard boxes in the shed are thousands of photographs taken during those trips – (many taken leaning out of the window of the cockpit!)
flyingbear is a new venture that allows Ayhan to develop his aviation skills in an exciting and innovative way that works alongside his lifelong interests in flying and photography.
