Taking their security seriously... My father served at Bletchley Park and to the end of his days, even after so much of it was in the public domain and films had been made about it, he point blank refused to talk about it. It has always been a huge regret of mine that he didn't spill the beans. He was in the Signal Corps and spent much of the war on the west coast of Scotland making radios for the French underground and was transferred to Bletchley Park later on. He worked for the GPO before the war, hence the Signal Corps. I like to think he helped Tommy Flowers build Colossus. If any of you ever went into a telephone exchange before the became solid state, you will recognise the mechanisms...
