Nice.
Did you visit the Computer museum too? The first ever computer His Nibs programmed (the Witch or Harwell Dekatron) is there. They were disappointed we lived in the Netherlands and had hoped to get him to volunteer there. Lots of memories for us at that museum.
We went to the computer museum and intended to return the next day for Bletchley Park, but the sun was shining so we decided not to go in the end . Another time.

Thanks Gwen, no we ran out of time for the computer museum.

Really like the first one Don. The cream & brown Austin is a classic colour for the period.

The whole Bletchley story and Turing's part in it fascinates and amazes me. It's definitely a shrine on my list to visit.
Best wishes,
Andrew
