Featured work - 'Colditz Cock' by S. Bathy

I just had to feature this model as it's such a novel theme. The Colditz Cock was the glider built in secret by the British POWs held in Colditz Castle during WW2...

Another wonderful model by S. Bathy who's work I watch on Flickr.

You can read about the history of this fabulous glider on Wikipedia: Colditz Cock

Even the Germans must have admired this ambitious escape attempt!
