It is a little known aspect of the Great Escape that many of the survivors started to hold reunions together in later life, which Bob Nelson styled the "Sagan Select Subway Society", or "SSSS" for short. Beginning in the late 1980s, they would reminisce about their experiences together, remember those they had lost, but also enjoy each others company and catch up on their respective lives. Dick Churchill was one of the regular organisers of these reunions, and we were re-joined by his sons, David and Roger Churchill, to tell us more about the Sagan Select Subway Society, and their efforts to commemorate the Great Escape into the future.
