Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire was the centre of the British code breaking operations during World War 2. It was also the home of Colossus, the first programmable electronic digital computer. After many years of denial of its existence, and being allowed to become very run-down it is now open as a museum - but still has no government funding!

Mooch went to Bletchley Park recently.  (23-Sep-2008)


Here's the Victorian mansion around which the huts of Station X were built.


One of the most famous people to work here was the mathematician Alan Turing.
Here's Mooch sitting on his statue which shows him with an Enigma machine.


Mooch was very privileged to get his hands on an actual Enigma machine
(although its only a three rotor version of the German WW2 cipher machine).
