Middelburg from the air
Middelburg is a steel and farming town on the eastern Highveld, and drone requests reflect both. A large stainless steel plant and the factories around it ask for roof, stack and yard inspections, while maize and soya farms toward Hendrina and Bethal want field mapping and crop health checks. Arnot and Hendrina power stations sit in the district, and like all power stations they are no-fly areas for private pilots. Middelburg Dam and the Olifants River valley toward Loskop Dam give hobby pilots open water and gorges to film. Frosty, very dry winters bring clear light but also grass fire smoke, and summer thunderstorms with hail build quickly over the flat farmland.
The requests we see from Middelburg usually come from:
