Bletchley Park Visit

Monday I went by train to Bletchley Park. It's situated on the outskirt of Milton Keynes. I wanted to go there because I've just read "The Secret Life of Bletchley Park" by Sinclair Mc Kay. What happened in Bletchley Park was completely kept secret until the 1970's. During WW II it was the HQ of the Enigma Code deciphering and transmission of German, Russian & Japanese crucial military information. It is said that thanks of this invaluable work the War has been shortened by at least 2 years.

I didn't manage to see the Colossus / the National Museum of Computing or the Churchill Collection. I wanted as well to see the town of Bletchley. Well, "Nothing to Report".
