You might find yourself on a bustling Main Street from 100 years ago, standing on the wing of an airplane, or joining the crew on a steam train!" All the participants leave with a photograph to keep (physical copy - not digital). All images are erased from our ipad after the event and are not used by the MoD in anyway.
