I had the privilege of meeting George Duffee (2nd from the right in Post #12) and the others below during the commemorative march over the Pyrenees in September this year which was organised by the local branch of the Comet Line in the Pays Basque.
This pic was from a ceremony at the War Memorial, St Jean de Luz.

From L to R: M Jean Dassie, Bob Frost (rear gunner), George Duffee (pilot), Andree "Nadine" Dumon (guide), Gordon Mellor (nav), unk, unk.
September next year sees the 70th anniversary of the Comet Line. I think it would be fitting if the RAF was represented by a small number of current Tornado GR4 aircrew at the 2011 commemoration which would involve attendance at several ceremonies followed by a crossing of the Pyrenees via the original escape route.
PM me if you'd like more details.
