During world war 2, a group of Allied officers attempted to escape a German prison camp in a ancient castle by building a glider designed to fit 2 people out of bedframes and scrap wood. It was concealed behind a false wall in the castle's attic, but was discovered bya gurad, who was bribed with 500 cigarettes. The glider was completed, but never launched, due to the fact the war ended before the glider was flown. This episode always makes me think of that :]
