Thames Aerial Imagery at Corney Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Corney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames aerial imagery team is authorised and equipped for operations at Corney Reach. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.
We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date at Corney Reach. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. We bring spare airframes; a single failure should not end a tide-limited shoot.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at Corney Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
Survey data from Corney Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Ask us about vessel support for Corney Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
Who owns the footage from the Corney Reach shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
