recall mention of 357 Kopernicus.  Nice end to his travels was hitching a ride
home on a Lancaster (against all the rules, and the only time he flew in one!)

Hello Phil, sorry for the delay my first attempt to answer is in the ether some
where.In the book by Oliver Glutton-Brock called Footprints on the Sands of
Time, camp357 is called Kopernicus, Thorn. I think there were two or three
different camps virtually on top of one another. There was a club called The K
Club which was  formed in Birmingham for pow's from that camp, but I can find no
trace of it on the net, probably wound up due to declining membership. If you
would like copies of the sports day contact me off site and I will send them
across to you
Best Regards
Greg
