Trailing Smoke / Dropping Confetti from a Private Aircraft
needs approval
if you're going to drop anything you probably need the appropriate approval from our lords and masters at CAA (after stumping up the appropriate fee of course). There was a form I had to fill in for a poppy drop some years ago and it needed maps and all kinds of "stuff".
Why don't you rustle up a few mates and just do a fly past at a suitable height of course

Go to "Runryder" on the Net. It's a model R/c Helicopter site with members all over the world. There's a thriving Aerial Photography section.
These big"toys" can happily lift several pounds and can be manoeuvered extremely accurately.
Although some EXTREMELY large models have to obtain CAA dispensations to operate, they are the exception.
AFAIK, It's a perfectly legal way to do smoke and confetti.....you could also have an aerobatic display or a live aerial feed of the proceedings and optionally video it or take stills.
