Looks like it didn't sell on the auction, while others did? Fascinating.

The Times says it sold for £155,000.

Flight Lieutenant Imeson, a bomber pilot/crew member, was 172 in the queue to escape through tunnel ‘Harry’. Only the first 77 got out of Stalag Luft III. His role in the escape plot was to act as a ‘penguin’, hiding excavated earth in his trousers and dropping it out in the camp compound.
