| On Saturday 18th October, seven IVARC members embarked on a club visit to Bletchley Park, the home of code-breaking during the Second World War, in particular the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. After a short wander through the visitor centre, we took the 1 hour guided orientation tour around the site. This helped us appreciate the sheer scale of the activities that took place at Bletchley Park, and provided us with a lot of useful information for the rest of our visit. (Steve G8XEV’s excellent Enigma presentation at our last club meeting was also invaluable in preparing us for the visit - see the "Documents" section of this website). After the tour, we set off round the various buildings and exhibits on the Bletchley estate, before meeting up again at the very impressive RSGB National Radio Centre exhibition. A very enjoyable day out, and we all took advantage of free admission to Bletchley Park as a benefit of our membership of the RSGB. |   |
