Visit Highlights
Our annual trip for 2004 will be a visit to the Bletchley Park Museum. The world's first programmable computer and other
technologies which we take for granted today were initiated at Bletchley Park. During an all-day visit to the museum and
grounds we shall be able to see early cryptography machines such as Enigma, Colossus and the Turing Bombe. We have also arranged
to see the Computer Conservation Society's historic computers collection.
