Station X

[Hagar]

I sometimes visit various museums & places of interest with an old friend. About 2 weeks ago we decided to drive up to Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire. This is the famous WWII "Station X" where the Enigma code was broken & the very first electronic computer was developed by the brilliant mathemetician Alan Turing. This was the first time either of us had been there & we were very impressed. There's a lot of interesting stuff to see & it's well worth a visit.

Unfortunately, security is tight in the actual museum since the rare Enigma machine was stolen earlier this year. It was recovered intact but apparently digital cameras are no longer allowed as they can set off the new alarm system. Ordinary cameras are allowed. I didn't get the shots I went for but thought I would post these as an example of

great shots there. so which camera did you take those with?? as you said no digital inside, but those arnt inside are they:) LOL
cheers

Like so many of our heritage sites & museums they receive no official support or funding

and they also pay workers barely above minimum wage even for higer level jobs, which is why my mom is also looking abroad for jobs

No, these were taken with the new camera. That's all I carry these days. Note that one pic is a tad lopsided. I could easily have edited it. I can't come to grips with being able to take an unlimited number of pics. I could have taken 150 & came home with 5. I'm still used to the old conventional camera & saving film. I suppose I'll get the idea one day.

All the workers I met are unpaid volunteers. Some served there during the war & make excellent guides.

No sign of Alan Turing, but nevertheless a wonderful building with a remarkable history.

true about the former workers being best guides.
as for money, even more reason then, Mr bank manager doesnt agree that happy people pay the bills
