A team built a flying manned replica for a TV program about the POW camp 12 ago and proved that the glider would have been able to fly the required distance. The flight of the winch launched 'Cock' is at the end of this clip.
What this program proved was that it could have been launched from the roof, abet with some difficulty in getting it to the launch point from where it was built.
