Trusted reviews state that consumer drones (classed as under 20kg) must be kept at least 50 metres away from people and private property and be flown under 400 feet (150 meters). It also states you are not to fly your drone within 150 meters of a congested area and organised open-air assemblies of more than 1000 people. You are not allowed to fly within 50 meters of private property (Credit: BBC) Other viewers joked that Phil and Dennis were behind the recent Gatwick drone chaos last year. https://twitter.com/Boothby_/status/1085265303670583297 https://twitter.com/RobertoDiniro1/status/1085258869725675520 https://twitter.com/samperry2003/status/1085258589114114048 One tweeted: “It was Phil Mitchell after all!!! #gatwickchaos #Heathrow #drone #EastEnders” [sic] A second joked: “It was Dennis who caused issues with the drones at the airport #EastEnders” A third wrote: “I knew it!
