Ladysmith from the air
Ladysmith is a battlefields town on the Klip River, close to the Drakensberg and the Tugela valley. Tour operators and heritage groups ask for aerial video of Wagon Hill, Spioenkop and the Colenso battle sites, and lodges in the foothills want footage for their websites. The Klip River has flooded the town centre in the past, so engineers and the municipality use drone mapping for river banks and drainage. Spioenkop Dam and the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park are protected, and many reserves do not allow drones without permission. Summer storms build quickly over the escarpment, and berg winds in late winter can be gusty and dry. A local aerodrome and an army base in town add further airspace checks.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Photographers, film crews and agencies: showing modern farming methods in agricultural magazines, shows and co-op days
- Municipalities, schools and NGOs: invasive plant control on municipal land, wetlands and conservation areas with approval
- Farmers and growers: fungicide, insecticide and foliar feed on maize, soya, cane, citrus and vineyards
