Drones and heritage chiefs in battle for Britain’s skies
The weather is awesome and here at ROAVR we are racing between creative and survey projects across the UK. As I sit here typing this in Aberdeen Airport, Connor is flying north, I’m flying south and Paul is heading into deepest darkest Morayshire to look at wind turbines.

There is a person in ROAVR who is key to everything we do. That person is Jill, she man’s the phones, grabs me a sneaky coffee and keeps the cogs turning. Jill has been with me since I started the three months on Transformers in 2016. The trouble is, I lost her in January.
