The museum has some fantastic items incision the last remaining cockleshell kayak from the famous raid. This one (top) got sent on the raid but was damaged when unloading and was taken back to Blighty.

Lady night as we were walking back to our hotel through the Plaza outside the Cathedral in Barcelona we heard some operatic singing coming from one of the side lanes.

We went to see what was going on and saw this busker http://youtu.be/oE0QyTD58SU

Quite an amazing voice!

Great Photos! :up:...

I had read they were working on a reconstruction of the Collosus computer at Bletchley; have they made much progress and/or is there an exhibit on the machine?...


<O>

Thanks all. The Colossus and Tunny replicas are both operational. The photos I took were on my camera so can't show you till I get it home to a PC.

TarJak did you get to see the new exhibit? I saw it advertised back in 2012 it would be open in the summer of 2013, some of the old brick huts were to be opened up.

I downloaded the last show yesterday, be interesting to see what differences there are. That's it, no more. Back to their individual projects.
Glad I saw them.
