In the past few years the story of the top secret code breaking facility at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire has been thrust in to the public consciousness with a string of television dramas and a superb film starring Benedict Cumberbatch. IWM Duxford is home to an impressive collection of over two hundred aircraft as well as tanks, military vehicles and maritime craft.

Seeing one of the Enigma Machines, including the rare 'Abwehr G312', is undoubtedly a highlight of a busy day out at Bletchley Park, but there is much more than machines in a visit to this historic site.
