It does fly
It may have been 67 years late but a replica of the Colditz glider finally took off from the castle yesterday . . . and promptly crashed.
The original glider – nicknamed the Colditz Cock – was part of one of the most audacious escape plans conjured up by British prisoners of war held at the castle.
After discovering a book on aircraft design in the library, the Second World War PoWs designed and constructed it behind a false wall in the attic.
