  1. Project 104 Project 104, a charity event, aims to build a Memorial to the Allied Service personnel (such as Ret’d Sqn Ldr ‘Jimmy’ James MC, pictured here) who were involved in the Great Escape. The Memorial will be in the form of a Replica PoW Accommodation Hut which will act as an ‘Education Centre’ for future Service visits and as an addition to the small museum built at the site of the Great Escape in Zagan, Poland. After digging the first escape tunnel of World War Two, Jimmy James became a digging legend in the German Stalag Luft prison camps. He went on to be a central figure in The Great Escape, dug his way out of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and spent 6 months in solitary confinement. Via Flossenburg Concentration Camp and Dachau, Jimmy had a personal death warrant signed by Hitler and Himmler. This project will help to preserve these and other heroic acts from WWII. We welcome company donations or you can contribute by buying a plank of wood for the hut (£10) or grouping together to buy a panel (£100). Your name will then be added to a plaque/scroll which will be held at the museum site. Money raised so far: £25,560 Total money left to raise: £30,000 Please send your Donations to: Flt Lt T Barlow (Project Leader), (Tel: 01494 497805), TDF, 3 Site, RAF High Wycombe, Walters Ash, Bucks, HP14 4UE. Cheques should be made to SFAS RAF High Wycombe. All donations to reach the project leader ASAP If the total sum of money is not raised, the remaining money raised will be donated to the Great Escape Museum, Zagan, Poland.
