[Nottingham] NLUG visit? In pictures: Bletchley Park decay (WWII: Alan Turing & Enigma Code)

[David Rice]

Highly recommend a visit. I went last year (about mid April) and spent a 
thoroughly enjoyable day there. Some fascinating reconstructions.
Make sure you go when the computer museum is open - IIRC it's not always 
open even when BP is.

It's not highly polished and slick but to walk where Turing did is, for 
me, something special.

Regards
David
