The History of Hut Six

Apologies if this goes horribly wrong, but I haven't posted anything for a 
while....

...and this is a follow-up to a 2002 post !

I don't think that anyone has mentioned this yet but "The History of Hut 
Six" is now available at the Public Record Office - or National Archives as 
it is now.

The Catalogue references are:

HW43/70 The History of Hut Six - Volume 1

(I've just asked how much it would cost to photocopy and the PRO would have 
to do 294 A3 copies at 45p each - which gives you an idea of the size of the 
file.)

HW43/71 The History of Hut Six - Volume 2

(This would need 271 A3 photocopies to reproduce.)

HW43/72 The History of Hut Six - Volume 3

(This would need 123 A3 photocopies to reproduce.)


There are a lot of interesting - but still retained - files in HW43. I'd 
particularly like to see

HW43/26

GC&CS Naval Cryptanalytic Studies Volume I: Introduction and Scoring 
Techniques by C H O'D Alexander, J W S Cassels, H R Foss, P Hall and A S C 
Ross

as presumably this is a detailed account of Banburismus...

and also

HW43/27 and 28

GC&CS Naval Cryptanalytic Studies Volume II: The German Steckered Enigma I 
by M A Ashcroft, D W Babbage, M A Chamberlain, O H Lawn, A P Mahon, D R 
Nichol, R G Pendered and A L Yoxall

GC&CS Naval Cryptanalytic Studies Volume III: The German Steckered Enigma II 
by M A Ashcroft, D W Babbage, M A Chamberlain, O H Lawn, A P Mahon, D R 
Nichol, R G Pendered and A L Yoxall

I don't suppose anyone knows whether these ones are being reviewed for 
release anytime soon...?

ADM.
