A "no fly" zone for drones is to be enforced during this year's TT and Southern 100.

The Island's Civil Aviation Administration says any local or visitor who flies a drone in the zones throughout the festival fortnight could face a hefty fine.

The rules will be in force from Saturday, May 26, until Wednesday, June 6 both inside the TT Race Course, and 1000 metres outside of it.

Drones are also prohibited 6 miles within Douglas on Tuesday, June 5, from 7.25pm until 8.10pm as the Red Arrows are due to perform .
