If in doubt, feel free to ask a member of staff!

2. The photograph can have been taken at any time
3. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not, (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot or another aircraft, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a staff member.
4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 1st April 2016 (UK time), to enable anyone with last minute entries some breathing space.

Not sure if nose art and mission marks are required, or just one or the other? With that said, I'll try with this. :)
