I’ve produced an Open category UK UAV resources doc, basically everything I whish I had when I started in the hobby.
Hope it’s of use to others here. Comments / additions very welcome.
It won’t let upload a PDF here so via a Google Drive share; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rUNN9QjfU3EyojjCvAhUX1fv32_Jm-LK/view?usp=sharing

The latest version at www.adrianmars.com/documents includes includes alternative sources of data to to replace Altitude Angel’s Drone Assist app - they went into receivership. Though Drone Assist still appears to work it no longer provides live NOTAM/NFZ info, which is worse than it not working at all.
Just looking at NOTAMinfo and the FRZ map doesn’t show the full picture. Watch this space for a more complete (and user-friendly) solution to that.

I agree, but it’s the best I’ve found so far , in contrast to the not very helpful links the CAA sent out. Great to hear you have a cunning plan - buy Altude Angel or at least the app? Looking forward to finding out.
I did try contacting the Met police drone squad asking what they’re doing re FRZ enforcement and what they might suggest but nobody i spoke to could find any way to contact them or pass a message, which is erm, dissapointing.
