Steve McQueen performed all of his own motorcycle stunts in The Great Escape with the exception of his characters final jump over a 6ft (1.8m) barbed wire fence. The final jump was performed by his stunt double, Bud Etkins.

The one time I've seen it, pretty sure there was considerably more suspension travel on the 'Trophy' that actually went over the fence.
Yeah totally... l definitely wasn’t seeing a a pre-unit construction Triumph parallel twin getting serious air, back then. I was seeing something way more capable. And I owned a Triumph Trophy, and a Tiger, and a Thunderbird back in the day. Google and maybe some superimposing poetic license seems to have rewritten the reality...

Maybe I didn’t see what I thought I saw.

It’s possible.
