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.

Made in 1946 and imported in 1960 ex N72466. I found this hanging on the fence after a freak wind storm picked it up and dropped it there. As can be seen, the aircraft had been tied down with rope more suitable for hanging out the laundry which explains why all three broke. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way! Luckily it was repaired and is current based at Morden/MB in 2021.

Ex N6990L, G-ATPS. [Nikkormat FTn + Nikkor 50mm/2]

Named "Air Challenger" for a flight around the world.
