23 August 2024. My first visit to Bletchley Park:
Bletchley Park is a beautiful English country mansion and estate located in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. It became the primary centre for Allied code-breaking during the Second World War. Below is a photo of one of the offices, as it was back in the 1940s. There’s even a handbag on the floor and a cardigan on the back of the chair where a young woman would have worked.
Below: National HRO receivers. Me at the RSGB National Radio Centre where I was made most welcome. A couple more HRO receivers.
Below: Bletchley Park Mansion. Encryption gear and an information notice.
Alan Turing Ale. It would be rude not to… Cheers, Alan!
Below: Valves… hundreds of them!
