UK'ers - Bletchley Park Museam

danlisa · 07-13-07, 06:42 AM

This new museam will be showcasing examples & working examples of historic computer systems. Included will be an original fully working Colossus, used to decifer German codes during WWII.

Great stuff about Colossus Rebuild Project:

This will be well worth a visit as soon as it opens for the public.

boy that would be something to see , Hand carved from brass by Alan
Turing, IMO father of the modern computer.

Im much interested in the workings of The admiralty Operational
Intelligence Centre and the work of the Uboat and Raider Tracking
rooms as well as there relationship with Trades movements who
were across the hall in the citadell. BP communicated through
OIC who did the analysis of the "special intelligence" along
with all other sources P/R and D/F etc. twas OIC that disseminated
the Intelligence along with its interpretation of meanings, to the
operational arms of of the armed forces. the flow worked in both
directions too. when enigma material was captured it was sent
to OIC who in turn forwarded such material to the necessary
analysis section ie B.P.

When B.P.Was such a secret it was vital for operational troops not
to know where it was going to end up for continued security in the
event of capture. OIC further made the judgements about wether
or not to act on special intelligence in the prespective of not compromising
the intelligence break ins. It became policy to not open handedly act
on any Ultra info that didnt have a possible other source such as
D/F or P/R.

Roger Winn of the OIC is a much undersung about Hero of WW2
So is Alan Turing from B.P.

Very cool find!

(Enigmanet. You've got enigmail. Get cracking!)

Museum should snap up the Enigma machine that is on E-Bay; would make a great addition.

Better to spend the money on other projects such as Colossus. They already have several enigmas, and the nice thing about the museum is that it is pretty 'hands on' - they do let you use the machines. Or at least they did when I visited about 2 years ago.

Fanastic museum, I highly recommend it. If you do go, spend a little more and take the guided tour - it is well worth it.

It is located at Bletchley, Milton Keynes. Haven't been there yet but will have to put it on my to do list.

Dutchie-one · 08-01-07, 03:52 PM

Do you know if it is far from London ? I will go by train I wish to spent some day`s in London next spring .

Thanks Dutchie-one
