We were delighted to be invited to come and film alongside the team from the BBC’s The One Show down at the Swanage Railway.
We were part of an article that they were creating regarding the rejoining of the Swanage train station to the main railway line, something that’s been achieved through a huge amount of work by a team of volunteers in a large part. We were to provide aerial footage of the beautiful steam engine puffing its way along the route – the chocolate box Dorset countryside and you really couldn’t ask for a more picturesque backdrop.
A very friendly farmer allowed us to use his field as a takeoff and landing site as it was adjacent to the rail track, giving us the opportunity to get beautiful views of the train as it headed over from Corfe Castle towards Swanage. Then we moved off to Norden station where we were able to interact even more closely with the train as it left the current final station on the line, filming almost trackside to create rising views of the drone disappearing into the steam plumes as the engine chugged beneath.
Despite relatively high winds on the day, our Matrice and Inspire fleet of craft were more than equal to the task of creating stable and stylish footage to capture both the engine and the environment with plenty pieces of the footage being used in the finished piece on BBC 1.
Using Thermography to investigate building air presure, air flow and air leaks
Thermography, a non-invasive technique using infrared imaging, has emerged as a powerful tool in the building industry. It is particularly useful for investigating building air pressure, air flow, and inefficient air leaks. This article explores the application of thermography in these areas, providing valuable insights and practical examples.

Using thermography to detect Cold Thermal Air Bridges and Reverse Chimney Effects
Thermography, also known as thermal imaging, is a powerful tool that can be used to detect and analyze temperature variations in buildings. It has become increasingly popular in the field of energy efficiency as it allows for the identification of cold thermal air bridges and reverse chimney effects. By utilising thermography, building owners and energy efficiency professionals can take proactive measures to improve the energy performance and comfort of buildings.
