TarJaks European Invasion

[TarJak]

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.




Th e uniform collection was pretty good too ranging from pre Napoleonic till modern day.




Anze's forged £50 note operation was exposed


The Donnington collection was also on good show

Well played. It's a Mk30 air launched acoustic torpedo.

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.

I did. It's actually outside the main Bletchley museum and you enter via the car park. I'll post photos when I get home. The have Colossus and Tunny running in adjoining rooms.

Same here.I won't stop any spoilers about the last night. All I know is that I can say I got to see them live which is something I never thought I'd see.

Stella and I had an encounter at Gatwick airport before flying to Barcelona

Took a a stroll around the Barri Gotic when we landed

Having a light lunch in a square, I watched these builders at work on a nearby building.


Visited the St Joseph La Boqueria market. Some great looking produce and interesting stalls
