Hot Air Balloon? Crane? Balloon Boy-style saucer/balloon?

Thoughts?

“If that is the case he can likely blackmail them into granting him Citizenship and Diplomat status, at which point this would turn into a very sticky wicket for the Brits.”

Between Britain and Equador, when it comes to special ops, espionage and intrigue, I’ll put my chips down on Britain.

He could come out in handcuffs, or a body bag. The choice is his. I would prefer the latter.

Why did the Brits ever let him enter that embassy in the first place? Hasn't he been hanging out in the UK for well over a year as a "house guest" at some posh country estate? Legal wranglings aside, DUH! Idiots. Now that the horse has bolted they're going to blame the barn...

Wiki: "He was ultimately released, in part because journalist Vaughan Smith offered to provide Assange with an address for bail during the extradition proceedings, Smith's Norfolk mansion, Ellingham Hall. He lived there for a year, then moved out in December 2011 to a "3,000-acre estate in East Sussex" – "a lodge on Lord Abergavenny's Eridge Park estate, near Tunbridge Wells"."

I would say “Diplomatic Pouch,” but then I would wonder why that hasn’t already happened?

Makes me wonder how East Germany dictator Erich Honecker got out when he took refuge in the Chilean embassy in Moscow.

It would have been poetic justice if he had to tunnel his way out, to fly a balloon, or to hide in the trunk of a Trabi, I guess, but actually he surrendered and eventually was allowed to go abroad by Yeltsin.

I’m thinking that the best way would be for him to walk backwards.

He could always strip naked...paint himself blue....tape a small flat screen tv to his belly and pretend to be a teletubby.

I think the RAF might have something to say about that.

Helicopter from embassy rooftop to France where a car awaits?

No actual embassy rooftop. The embassy is a ground floor apartment in a building with other tenants. (you can see the Ecuador flag outside the embassy flat

(The building roof also does not look helicopter friendly).

Actually I see odd couple sitcom potential here. South American Ambassador and smug Oz wanker sharing a small embassy flat and getting on each other's nerves.

You're right. That building, while beautiful as it is, isn't helicopter friendly. That makes this situation popcorn worthy. I do think you're on to something here because Assange will either need to live out his life in that embassy (room) or he's going to get apprehended. I can hear the Ambassador moaning, now. It could be a modern day, ‘Odd Couple’.
