Got involved with something similar in NI a few years ago. One of the teams (teams of two IIRC) came back with a fantastic set of photographs of exotic locations....

.... turned out they'd got as far as the Granada Studio at Manc who let them loose on some sets ...

... amd that was before PhotoShop was invented ......

You appear to be going for horizontal displacement, be different and go for vertical displacement. I think there are still a few coal mines scattered around Yorkshire/Nottinghamshire. Failing that try somewhere high up in London. The Post Office Tower has been closed to the public since the 70s so a trip to the top of that would be a 'tick VG' and I understand that Nelson's Column is currently covered in scaffolding, if Blue Peter can do it it must be possible. Then there's the sub escape school at HMS Dolphin if you fancy being under 200ft of water or a simulated dive to 40 mtrs in the hyperbaric chamber at Fort Bovi

Go to prison - claim asylum and ask to be deported to New Zealand - you may even get £2500 for spends! - that guarantees your return air fare if they consider you were only induldging - however, with this government, it could take 72 years rather than hours to complete the paperwork!
Best of luck B15

A small clue.
Here in Borneo we have a British battalion keeping a watchful eye on the oilfields, plus a troop of Boy Scouts (Shh! you know who I mean) practising their jungle skills. We often handle RAF C130 and Tristar aircraft on resupply flights. There is even a dedicated Air Movement section.You could just about make it to Borneo and back in 72 hours.

Ah! 72 hours! On second thoughts, better forget obout the movers then...
