German Pilots' Stole Magister to Escape Britain.

Post by Nigel H-J »

One of Mark Feltons' videos just released and proves to be extremely interesting.

Yet another of Mark´s excellent videos, a channel well worth following.

It's too bad they weren't successful in their escape. They definitely gave it their best shot. :lol:

Probably still being investigated by the police though.

A great story, but - if their poor English necessitated that they masquerade as Dutch pilots, why did they have such obviously non-Dutch names on their forged ID documents (see at 6:31 - the names George David and Harry Graven ) ?

Maybe the forger could not spell Dutch names!! 8) I have to admit that whilst watching I was actually hoping that they made it!! :hide:

They could have used the name Vincent van Gogh. Everybody knows how to spell that name. ;)

Quite an amazing story, I am sure they knew, when they were going to be taken to the closest RAF base, that the game was up.
