Yesterday I had a return visit to Bletchley Park took a load of pics..Sorry I'm old school camera film..What's that? Go google it. :har:

Anyway moving to the point, any folks in the UK have not been to Bletchley yet make a big effort if I was you, GCHQ has loaned out to them the German SG-41 cipher machine, less than five hundred were ever made and today less than ten known to be still around today! Bletchley never broke the codes of the SG-41.

My first visit last year to Bletchley they just got hold of a all black metal case enigma machine and this year another...YEAAA. :DL

Some other good news Block D not in use will be open up in a few years time. I'm glad to see Bletchley has turned a corner since those dark days of the 1990's when it faced the end of the road.

Could it be that Fubar and Tribesman are brothers? :hmmm:

Never been, yet, always been put off by just how much has been sold off - that housing estate wasn't there in the '40s.

Maybe it's time to ignore my previous prejudices.

Not long had a text and it's looking like Hendon is on in the next couple of weeks.

@Steed
Post pictures, or it didn't happen. Since they're not digital, go ask your mum for some money, so you can get the film developed. Then you got to find a scanner. Can't help you with that.
