Anyone visiting Bletchley should try to come on a day that the National Museum of Computing is open.

It will include a new drama based on Grand Theft Auto and a documentary on Bletchley Park.

If you're ever in Bletchley Park in the United Kingdom, go visit the National Museum of Computing.

Turing and Welchman at Bletchley Park came up with improvements which made it much more effective.

Did something similar during a Software Craftsmanship conference at Bletchley Park a couple of years ago.

By that reasoning, BT's plans to build on Bletchley Park would have been fine.

Why were they selected to work in Britain's most secret organisation and what impact did Bletchley have on the rest of their lives?

I do want to second the sentiment that a visit to Bletchley Park is a very good use of an afternoon!

I don't see Bletchley as some holy ground where these kinds of things defile it.

The restoration effort at Bletchley Park has gone over the top.

MKWeb is quite a local paper for Bletchley Park.

Here's the difference: Bletchley Park didn't have anything else.

It's an interesting effect: "Alan Turing's notes found...being used as roof insulation at Bletchley Park".

This is OT, but there's an interesting snippet in "The Secret Life of Bletchley Park" [1] about decoding Enigma messages used by the Italian Navy in the Med.

(If you know the end you'd expect it to be written "Alan Turing's notes being used in roof insulation at Bletchley park" if that's the main point.) Thanks.

That's because by 1944 three quarters of Bletchley's workforce was made up of very young women, or girls, often just out of school.

Despite the fact that at least 8000 people worked at Bletchley, and many others in listening and codebreaking centres across the country, no-one gave the secret away.

And when the story did eventually begin to emerge, the star-studded heroes of Bletchley's narrative were men, led by the most famous cryptanalyst of them all, Alan Turing.
