Apologies for the bad overlap between songs - my fault :/
A flight to the remnants of a WW2 bombing range in Moricambe bay - known locally as Hudson Bay due to the amount of Lockheed Hudsons that crashed into the Solway Firth during World War II.
The Pill box is made from sacks filled with cement.
I did look for a crashed Hudson there but havent located it yet, was told it was to the left of the posts near the rocks but no visual there of it so enjoy the rocks lol. What did surprise me was the birds sitting on the posts, they didnt seem bothered at all by my drones presence. A lovely place and definately worth a visit. Hi to the 2 ladies i chatted to and walked with. :)

Wow! a freaking mazing! Such a beautiful place and the pillbox was soooo cool. Very nice combo showing things from the air and the ground... very nice... better and better... never boring.... TC, Anna
Thanks Anna, yeh had to show the inside of the Pill box too or peeps would be disappointed i think. :)
At 03:00 I was fully expecting the sound of gunfire and to see those cormorants dropping off the posts - you do have guns mounted on your drone don't you?
Great footage from the air and a nice walk around inside the pill box at the end.

Another great video and very nice footage too but your having far too much fun with your drone lol :-D Love that Pill Box very clean and great that it's still complete too.
