A split-screen image showing on the left a CGI visualisation of four large white radar dishes on a rural Pembrokeshire site beside a country lane, and on the right a screenshot of the actor Jerome Flynn speaking to camera in front of green countryside A few editorial flags worth thinking through before you publish: Picture credit — I've assumed MoD for the CGI but I don't know the actual source from your earlier reporting. Could be MoD, Space Force, a DE&S contractor, or something supplied by the campaign group. Worth checking what you credited it as in the original DARC piece and matching that. Flynn screenshot source — if it's a still from a video he posted to his own social media (Instagram/X/Facebook), the credit is usually "Jerome Flynn / Instagram" or similar, depending on platform. Worth being specific so readers know he's posted this himself rather than it being a press image. The "Game of Thrones star" framing — fine for headlines and SEO, but worth noting Flynn has a long-standing record of activism on Welsh environmental issues (he's been involved with anti-fish farm campaigning in Pembrokeshire for years), so the story might be stronger if it acknowledges he's not just a celebrity drive-by but has form on this. Your call based on the angle you're going for.Darc flynn splitImage · JPG Open in Preview
