Re: Code-Breakers : Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes

A most enjoyable programme and the dedication to Tony Sale at the end.
BUT what a sorry state BP is in.
My father (CLS Williams "Bungy")was there from 1942 onwards but sadly died
four years ago When he retired from GCHQ he became an historian and would
have been saddened by the state of the place now.
