I knew Hal Booth when he was a Technical Illustrator at Itek  Corporation. 
He had been an RAF pilot and POW who was one of the participants in  the 
Escape described in the movie. He created a pamphlet of drawings depicting  the 
digging of the tunnel.  I will try to find it amongst the 70-year-old  
hoarding of paraphernalia and momentos that I have, and I will scan a copy of  
it. I am sure it depticted the radio they had.
