Mo<strong>der</strong>n Bletchley Park.<br />

Nowadays, Bletchley Park is a museum devoted not only to the role of<br />

Station X in the war, but also to other aspects of wartime life. Some of<br />

the original code-breaking huts are still standing, containing exhibits<br />

about the Bombe and Colossus machines. Information about the role of<br />

carrier pigeons in war can be found in the old stable-yard of the manor<br />

and a collection of classic cars can also be seen. There are also<br />

exhibitions on Churchill, toys through the ages, and the history of<br />

computing, along with a re-creation of a wartime post office. All this is<br />

set in beautiful grounds, from where fly-pasts of World War II planes can<br />

sometimes be seen.<br />

Of course, the code-breakers of Bletchley couldn't have cracked Enigma<br />

without a working example of the machine and said machine is still the<br />

property of Bletchley Park. In 2000 this machine made the headlines as it<br />

was stolen from Bletchley Park and, as one of only three still in<br />

existence, it was consi<strong>der</strong>ed a vital historical artefact. It was returned<br />

in good condition, however, and now can be seen by all visitors to<br />

Bletchley Park. Admission to the site is reasonable and the price includes<br />

a highly informative tour of the site. There is plenty for adults and<br />

children to see and do, and shopaholics will love the souvenirs available<br />

in the shop. All in all, it is a great family day out.<br />
