Over the weekend, the studio behind Star Trek Into Darkness took the film’s title literally, commissioning the flying of a giant, glowing Starfleet insignia in the London night sky. Comprised of 30 LED-illuminated quadrotors, the 308-foot-tall logo rotated in place 118 feet above ground (video below), before dimming its lights alongside those of Tower Bridge and Big Ben in recognition of the WWF’s Earth Hour conservation effort.
The light show was created by Ars Electronica Futurelab — the same company that created a similar display in Linz, Austria last year.

how on earth did you obtain CAA Permission for this?! I am stunned.
Yes, I’d really like to know the answer to Alistair’s question.
Anyone from the CAA able to comment?
Obviously all above board with good risk assesments, but I as well as many others would be very interested in details as this is such a significant operation.
