Breaking The Code

Mrs C listening in to a morse transmission in Block C today. Hopefully someone will have deciphered it by now and taken the appropriate action!
A fascinating day out at Bletchley Park. Coincidentally, it would have been Alan Turing’s 110th birthday, though we didn’t know that before we got there. And we really didn’t know just how vital to the war effort all the work done by the code breakers was. Of course, up until recently, know one knew much about what went on there as all the employees were sworn to absolute secrecy about the work they did. A friend messaged me to say he knew his grandfather worked there but never spoke about it right up until he died. There is now a computerised database of those who worked there, and I was able to look up the name and confirm he was a Captain in Army Intelligence, working in Block D, which was active around D-Day.
I have actually been to Bletchley Park a couple of times previously, when I was training staff on their new coffee machines. This was in what is now the visitor centre, but was just a building site when I was there! The main house was also just offices back then, but now has quite a lot to see, including the aforesaid database. And they don’t serve Costa coffee in the visitor centre any more, so that training was really worthwhile delivering. Not!
Our tickets are valid for twelve months, so we can come back again for free within that time. Which we may well do, especially as the train station is right across the road so we wouldn’t have to drive. Well, we might have to, if the trains are still on strike!
Talking of which, we are heading for London tomorrow. I’m fairly certain we can get there by train. It’s whether or not we can get back to our hotel in Milton Keynes after the concert - it is not clear when the last train out of London might depart…
