Interesting experience!

So I'm driving along the road near Hadrian's Wall when I come face to face with a Phantom 3. I stop and the guy flying climbs to 50 ish feet and waves me through. Unwilling to drive underneath a possibly uninsured craft, I sit there and wait. The guy gets more agitated, but eventually lands. I draw up alongside and politely suggest that he should be 50m away from my property (UK rules). 'I would have climbed to 50m above you' he replies, 'you're just argumentative ' he added.
As it had potential to get heated, I departed but felt quite disturbed by the fact that there are people out there with this strength of self entitlement.

Thinking back, he was probably waiting for a car to come along so he could film it passing beneath him. This would explain his irritation at my refusal. Did I overreact, should I just have continued driving beneath his P3? I don't think so, I certainly was not 'under his control ' and had no way of knowing what his intentions were. I didn't expect anything bad to happen but recognised the potential for it all to go horribly wrong!
