AWE drone has a new role!

AWE’s specialist drone team had an unusual assignment this week – inspecting the roof at St. Mary’s Church in Tadley!

Their mission was to use the drone to provide detailed aerial imagery and videography of St Mary’s, enabling visual confirmation that lightning protection on the bell tower and the roof itself, are in good condition – saving the church team having to fund a costly manual inspection. Town and Borough Councillor David Leeks was also on hand, he is a member of AWE’s Local Liaison Committee and it was his suggestion that the drone may be useful.
