Their Story
Spitfire Evader with Tom Hannam
For Tom Hannam, becoming a fighter pilot was a childhood dream. After training in the United States, he returned to Britain and joined 222 (Natal) Squadron, flying Spitfire Vs.
On 27 September 1943, Tom’s Spitfire was hit by a Luftwaffe fighter during an operation over France. Unable to make it back across the Channel, he turned towards the French coast and bailed out behind enemy lines.
What followed was an extraordinary escape. With the help of courageous French civilians and members of the Resistance, Tom moved through occupied France, travelling from Normandy to Paris and Lyon before reaching Perpignan. He then crossed the Pyrenees on foot in winter conditions, eventually reaching Spain and the safety of the British Embassy in Barcelona.
In his own words, Tom recalls the danger, ingenuity and sheer luck that enabled him to evade capture and return to the UK on Christmas Eve 1943.
