Among the tools, all fashioned from materials in the prison workshops: a blowtorch made from a large grease cup, a brace and bit from pipe parts. Remarking on the careful preparation, Bennett recalled Green's earnest promise of two years before. "All the time he was talking to me," said Bennett, "he was probably planning his next blast-out attempt...
