    interesting to not that there is a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Cockpit section in the middle of the screen at 6:20. The street looks amazingly like the Sherwood Crescent architecture in Lockerbie

    It's for a movie about the Lockerbie plane tragedy, films going to be called Lockerbie, there was a thing in the news telling locals theres going to be some loud bangs and pyrotechnics, its going to star Colin Firth.

    • @Droneauditsscotland
      @Droneauditsscotland  5 місяців тому +2

      Yeah mate this set is the Netflix Lockerbie Drama i came back 8 weeks later and filmed when they were filming can see video in my channel list this is not the set Colin Firth was at, believe it or not but hes in the Sky version which was are also being recorded @ same time but in different locations and funny enough both in west lothian.
      The road closure guys for the loud bangs/ pyrotechnics were warned about me and not to let them get past if i turned up which was weird as i didnt even know i was going to ho there til days before and i never told anyone i was going to turn the 1st day of filming can also see that interaction with road closure guys as well as me turning up @ the Sky production team were the producer phones their lawyers about me 👍🏻😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's basically another ghost town, the security guard was just trying to protect the site (or the set). 🧟🧟‍♂🧟‍♀👻👻👻It was probably him that phoned the police on the last drone flyer....Ha! 👮‍♂
