Project 104 - 'The Great Escape Project'

The aim of Project 104 was to build a replica of 'Hut 104', the hut from which the entrance to Great Escape tunnel ‘Harry' was concealed. This would be built at the site of the Great Escape Museum at Zagan, Poland . It will act as a memorial to all those who were PoW's at Stalag Luft III and as an education centre for future visits by Service personnel and the public. The hut was completed and the Royal Air Force Opened the Replica ‘Great Escape’ Hut as Lasting Memorial on Saturday 16th August, in the presence of two of the camp’s original residents, see the full story.

After the success of the Project earlier this summer the Project team has met with Air Commodore Charles Clarke and Dr Howard Tuck to discuss the future of the Project. Whilst we are deciding exactly how, and if, we can make appropriate steps to take this project forward, we will NOT be asking for any of your kind donations. We do not want to mislead people in any way. We will, however, welcome donations from people if they still want to donate, but they must be aware of this statement and any donation is therefore made knowing that the Project is ‘on hold until further notice’ and may not continue
