Ring first. This form is for everything that is not seconds-critical

If someone is missing and there is any risk to life, call 999 before doing anything else. Ring the number below for an urgent search once 999 is already in hand, or use the form for livestock, event cover, or anything that can wait for a reply.

Based: Exeter, covering Devon and the South West.
What to send: Where the search is, roughly how big the area is, what or who is missing and since when, and whether the police or a search coordinator are already involved. A grid reference or what3words is more useful than it sounds.

Tell us about the search

Two minutes to fill in. It comes straight through to the pilot.

Before you ask

What you are dealing with

CAA registered

Operator ID and Flyer ID held, plus the A2 Certificate of Competency. Paperwork is available on the phone before a flight, including to the police or a search coordinator if it is needed.

Radiometric thermal

A DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced carrying a 640 by 512 thermal camera, strongest at dawn, dusk and after dark, which is when a ground search slows down the most.

100 megapixel visual camera

A DJI Mavic 4 Pro with a Hasselblad camera and 6K video, used for daylight coverage and for legible imagery of anything found, close enough to act on.

Insured with Coverdrone

Full commercial cover for the operation. Certificates go to a search coordinator, a landowner or an event organiser as a matter of course, without anyone having to chase for them.
