Dear Global Drone Pilots, Enthusiasts and Hobbyists,
In these turbulent times, it is crucial to address the use of drones in Israel with the utmost caution and sensitivity, especially in light of the ongoing conflict against terrorism. Our hearts go out to all innocent victims of violence, and we acknowledge the deep suffering that persists on both sides of the conflict.
Drones have emerged as powerful tools that can be harnessed for a variety of purposes, one of which is to capture real footage of the events unfolding in the region. This can provide a unique perspective on the situation and help the world better understand the complex dynamics at play.
In the midst of conflict, it is essential to remember that drones can be used for good. They can serve as a means to document events and scenery, shedding light on the reality of life in the region. By capturing footage from above, drones can help bring the world closer to the events occurring in places such as Israel, which many will be keen to do.
Reputable news websites and organisations have also recognised the potential for drones to contribute positively to the coverage of events in the region. They have highlighted how civilians, when using drones responsibly and ethically, can play a significant role in providing valuable insights into the situation which often unfolds quickly and unexpectedly.
Aerial Kent Ltd, a company specialising in professional drone services in the U.K, advocates for the use of drones primarily in a filming capacity for the better of the arts and humanties – yet we understand the deeper impact this can have in many other ways, such as politically, for example. Our aim is to capture the events and scenery around the world, emphasising the importance of neutral and factual documentation. We firmly believe that by providing a clear and unbiased view, we can contribute to a more informed global perspective on the ongoing events that affect us all as a global population and family of Drone users, business owners, hobbysists, enthusiasts and even as activists where appropriate.
It is essential to approach the use of drones with the highest ethical standards and consideration for privacy and safety concerns. We are committed to operating within the boundaries of the law and respecting the rights of all individuals affected by our drone operations and ask that all drone operators respect this view too.
As we navigate these challenging times, let us remember that drones have the potential to serve as a bridge between different perspectives and promote a more comprehensive understanding of the complex issues at hand in a very complex and diverse World. By exercising extreme caution and utilising drones for good, we can contribute to a more empathetic and informed world.
In such environments, the onus falls not only on the drone pilot but also on the producers, directors, and those who fund such projects to ensure that every endeavor is conducted in good taste, fair balance and with the respect for all subjects contained within it. It is of paramount importance to maintain a central perspective that does not favor any particular ideologies or positions. By taking an unbiased stance, drone operators can contribute to fostering a more balanced understanding of the situation on the ground in any environment, territory, or situation.
Moreover, the heartrending reality of conflict zones should never be forgotten. Innocent victims of war and violence, as well as their grieving families, must always be kept in mind. It is crucial to approach drone projects in a way that is respectful of every aspect of the subject matter. The use of drones should never exploit or sensationalise tragedy but instead strive to bring awareness to the human suffering that persists in these regions.
In summary, drones can be valuable tools for shedding light on ongoing conflicts and areas of instability, but their use should be marked by caution, empathy, and a commitment to impartiality. All involved parties must prioritise the dignity and memory of those affected by these conflicts, ensuring that every project undertaken is done with the utmost respect and consideration for the complexities of the situation at hand.
Yours sincerely,
Frank Thomson – Pilot & Director
