I've visited the Park twice - once when it was still owned by BT and we talked a guard into letting us see the buildings on a weekend, and once when the museum was in its old form. The old museum was very much what Mr. Ridgeway was asking for. There were really good exhibits about the cipher machines and how the cipher cracking was done. If the new trust management has really taken most of that away, then that is VERY VERY sad.
