In September 1943, the BBC made one of the most daring and ambitious reports of World War II.
War correspondent Wynford Vaughan-Thomas and his sound engineer boarded Avro Lancaster 'F for Freddie' and stepped into a world where life hung in the balance.
Their destination: Berlin.
Using Vaughan-Thomas' original recording, the BBC has masterfully recreated this wartime raid as a fully immersive Virtual Reality Experience.
Visitors are transported back through history inside an Avro Lancaster bomber to experience the tension and drama of a wartime bombing raid.
