Bletchley Park

Enjoy Pompa I've been wanting to go for years too as my dad was there. It's just down the road from where my DD lives and we just haven't made it. I suspect it'll be really popular now with the TV series.

Dad was just an ordinary telephone engineer. I've wondered if he knew Turin in the early days as he was a PO engineer too I believe. He didn't talk about it much at all. His brother told me that dad had had an easy war as he was a reserved occupation as a PO engineer. He was dead chuffed when I told him where he'd been based!

I visited last year and was absolutely amazed at the work done there by ordinary Wrens during the war. I'm blowed if I cauld have done as well when I was I the Mob. It is a truly remarkable place to visit.

In fact, the boss tells me we are going there in two weeks time.

Did some training there in the 60s had a unique atmosphere

We plan to visit this year.

I shall have to watch that on catch up. Know Bletchley quite well, went to college there. Thanks for mentioning it, it is easy to miss programmes (surprised I didn't see it advertised).

Last summer I went with family to Bletchley Park and like you, Pompa I welled up in tears as soon as I got inside. I still don't understand it, except that the atmosphere has been re-created so well, you could feel the excitement and tension.
We're watching the programme now.

I doubt we will ever know everything that happened there as the work is still part of our current defence.

Both my parents-in-law worked at Bletchley during the war. They were both linguists. In fact they met and married there.

I lived in Bletchley through the 1960's and my dad and brother both worked in The Park. There was always an air of mystery to the place, but none of knew exactly the extent of the mystery until fairly recently.

I'm enjoying it very much, we've been meaning to go to Bletchley Park for ages.
