Man builds underground bunker and tunnel inspired by World War II’s Great Escape
A man spent £35K to build his own World War II style bunker accessed through an old well and a 35ft tunnel - inspired by 'The Great Escape'.
Dave Billings, 43, is digging deep into his childhood dream paying homage to one history’s most famous prison breaks - in his garden.
Dave decided to build his own underground bunker and tunnel like that used by Allied prisoners of war who famously fled Stalag Luft III.
The real story was later made into a film "The Great Escape" in 1963.
