An honour to be able to lay a wreath at the 80th Anniversary of the Great Escape over the weekend at Stalag Luft III. Pictures of the 50 recaptured personnel murdered by the Nazis were carried by serving Royal Air Force personnel at a poignant ceremony at the exit to ‘Harry’.

Today we reflect, 80 years after the Great Escape took place.
