At the code breaking Museum
Picture by Raymond Thurlby


Raymond has submitted a seris of pictures from Betchley which if I am correct was the home of the wartime code-cracking team. Good quality pictures such as these give another interesting view of englands past and present heritage and allow our overseas friends the chance to see that we are not just beautiful green fields and coastlines, but a nation of inventors, engineers and academics. lets have more of a simular nature, perhaps with a brief interesting explaination or description.

i can remeber when I wanted to be an Government computer operator in my childhood, they were huge monsters back then, that was before PC' shad yet been invented One o fht fathers in my scince class did computer boards back then and he brought some samples of them to school for us to see. What's that old saying "We've come an long way baby!" since then. Don't under estimate seeing your green country-side as with all the people, its fading quickly in the world.
