V.I.B. (Very Important Building)

Postby TSC. » Mon May 19, 2008 4:17 am

Would anybody like to take a guess as to where I've been this weekend?

You don't have to be a mathematical genius to work this one out.

It's a few years since my last visit but I'm guessing Bletchley Park. The hut looks like it's been recently restored.

Full points to Doug, thats hut 8 at Bletchley Park where the German Naval Enigma codes were broken during WW2.

Block B:

Alan Turing's office in hut 8, note his gas mask on the desk, Turing used to cycle around with the gas mask on because he suffered from hayfever. You can also see his mug chained to the radiator to deter thiefs - yes, Turing was slightly eccentric:

Had a great day at Bletchley, it really is worth the visit if your near the area.

Cheers,
