Our group (http://www.armadale.org.uk/groupmembers.htm) has just given a full kite aerial photography kit to Edinburgh University Archaeology Society and a kit (less camera) to our local camera club:

A full kit will soon be going to our local agricultural college.
Although we cannot supply kits to everyone who would like one (we do not have the funds), we are here to help anyone who wants to start flying kites with cameras, as specified in our trust documentation:
www.wlatrust.org.uk
However, we are looking at UAVs too for days when there is no wind or when we are working in restricted environments.
It is best to start with visible spectrum kite aerial photography, as most compact cameras can be used for this purpose, as posted before on this forum:
http://www.armadale.org.uk/kitebasic.htm
I will post a guide if there is any interest, indicating costs etc.
For a background on IR have a look at:

West Lothian Council has produced some display boards for a general readership describing what we do:
