St James Park Exhibition - 4th to 10th JulyBP and GCHQ collaborate in a public exhibition in St James Park to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the end of World War Two.
Oliver and Sheila Lawn, WW2 Bletchley Park codebreakers, and Christine Large, Trust Director meet the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Bletchley Park/GCHQ collaboration was called ‘Churchill’s Golden Geese’ – a reference to the words of Winston Churchill when he paid tribute to the magnitude of the contribution made to the war by Bletchley Park’s intelligence and its veil of secrecy, due to the fact that the codebreakers were his “geese that laid the golden eggs and never cackled”.
Bletchley Park's very own Golden Goose.
Dr Christopher Little, Director of Learning, demonstrated codebreaking techniques to the thousands of intrigued visitors.
