Great Escape Squadron Leader Frank "Fearless" Day, 91, RIP
2008-07-18
Squadron Leader Frank "Fearless" Day, who has died aged 91, came close to freedom during the Great Escape from Stalag Luft III; he was near the end of the tunnel when the exit was discovered, by which time 76 airmen had broken free, but he was forced to retreat and was soon in solitary confinement.

#3  It is about time for the Lady of the Lake gave Excalibur to some deserving lad, though that sword would become very bloody indeed before England was restored.

#1  A British hero from a time when there were many of them. I suspect he was not pleased to see what has happened to the country he gave so much to save. Rest in peace, Squadron Leader. Maybe someday Britons will again value your courage and sacrifice.
