   Your MoD POC should then place a request for the images, quoting the image ID, including the link, and noting the relevant contract number, to admin@photos.mod.uk. Digital copies will then be sent to the MoD POC for onward transmission to you. 

   Please note that if there are any issues with a particular image you have requested, such as ownership, consent, or data protection, this may not be automatic and you may be advised to select alternatives.
