I've just come back from a fascinating visit to Bletchley Park http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/

near Milton Keynes, north west of London https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?gl=uk&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=205889036322941502495.00049a1f8c97aad72b13b&ll=51.996719,-0.738487&spn=0.025366,0.054932&z=14&source=embed

I'm in no way connected to Bletchley Park, but I found it one of those places you could visit many times and have a unique visit as there is far too much to see and take in during a single day - you can revisit anytime for a year with same ticket.

In hut 12 -I think-, by the cafe, they have a very small exhibit about Ian Flemming's 30 Assault unit Commando

Some highlights: you can also see several Enigma machines; find about the computing and mathematical genius Alan Turing; see a working reproduction of Colossus the world's first programmable digital computer and exhibits of British and Germany infantry equipment and a reproduction of the Bombe decryption device.

Bletchley Park is still under restoration, but well worth a visit !

BBC Bletchley Park documentary to be re-screened on Sunday at 8pm on BBC2.
