Photo Comment

This is one of at least four Colditz Cock replicas which have been built, two of which have flown. This one was used in the 1972-74 TV Series "Colditz", the particular episode being Series 2 Episode 6 "Ace in the Hole" which aired on February 11th 1974. It was subsequently loaned by the IWM to the Torbay Aircraft Museum (reported there April 1984)" and probably returned to the IWM when Torbay closed in 1988. It was reported to be in store with the IWM in 2011 but its whereabouts after that are not clear. It is not the one at Lasham, that is BAPC.347, or the one at Flixton which is BGA.4757.
