'This is Old Oak Common, a train depot in one of the most deprived parts of London," said the BBC TV presenter in a standard camera shot. But as he went on to explain that the whole area was likely to be transformed by the HS2 project, the camera suddenly took off to show the scale of development. This was the first time the BBC had used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) - better known as a 'drone' - for a domestic news item. With a few hundred pounds and some practice, anyone can film dramatic aerial shots in this way and the new technology has inevitably found its way into railway photography.
