Clarkson hits out at photographer after warning over drone restriction zone

Must read

Mr Clarkson took aim at a photographer on social media days after RAZ Brize Norton reminded drones it is illegal to fly over restricted zones without permission.

The warning from RAF Brize Norton said: “RAF Brize Norton’s aerodrome is surrounded by a drone Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ).

“It is illegal to fly a drone within our FRZ without approval from air traffic control and station operations.”

Following the warning, Mr Clarkson wrote to a photographer on X (formerly known as Twitter) about flying a drone over his newly opened pub.

He wrote: “When you fly your pap drone over our pub, it’s in Brize-controlled airspace. And you might become the story if you bring a KC-135 down.”

The former Top Gear host bought The Windmill pub in Asthill, near Burford for around £1,000,000.

He has since renamed it The Farmer’s Dog and opened the doors to the watering holes on Friday (August 23) to massive queues.
