No change in the UK guidelines from the CAA.

From the linked report - "There is no time frame or firm plans as to how the new rules will be enforced and the Department of Transport admitted that "the nuts and bolts still have to be ironed out"."
Speculation as to future UK drone registration and rules is just that, Speculation...

So for now just abide by the CAA Dronecode and fly safe.

If people were already following the drone code and being safe then this legislation wouldn't be needed.  Some aren't though hence this proposal.

As usual, it's the irresponsible ones who ruin things for everyone.

I really hope the registration is free.
