About Eye in the Sky Drone
A local drone photography business based in Darlington, covering anywhere within about an hour, from Newcastle to York.
Barnard Castle
Hello, I’m David
I run Eye in the Sky Drone and fly every job myself. Most of my work is aerial photography and video for estate agents and homeowners, alongside roof surveys and promotional films for local businesses.
I’ve completed around 50 commercial jobs, from farmhouses in the Dales to village pubs and museums. You deal with the person who plans the flight, flies the drone and edits the footage, so nothing gets lost along the way.
All video is shot in 4K and edited in-house, and prices are kept competitive for the region.

Qualified, insured and careful
Safety comes first on every job. Before each flight I check the airspace, the site and the weather, and complete a written risk assessment following CAA rules.
- CAA A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC)
- Registered with the CAA as a drone operator
- Fully insured for commercial drone work
- Listed on the Drone Safe Register
Happy to send copies of certificates and insurance on request.
