    Are there any left down South ?

    Shame these old boys and girls are dying off.

    Theres a lady lives close by me. I knew she had been in the Royal Navy during WW2.

    I met her one day and it came up in conversation.

    She mentioned that she worked in a place called..... Bletchley Park ! Then after that went to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to help set up something similar.

    A code cruncher I wonder!

    Good on the MoD for putting on a fitting tribute with the flypast.
