Pulley Block from 'The Pitch and Toss'

After being captured in Libya during 1941, Flight Lieutenant George Carmichael of No. 451 Squadron became something of an escape artist; twice he managed to evade his captor.

The second time saw him spending six months with Partisans in Yugoslavia and Italy before reaching Allied lines after sailing a small boat named 'The Pitch and Toss' down the Adriatic with eight other Allied escapees.
