When Captain Ridleys shooting party A arrived at Bletchley Park in 1939 no-one would have guessed that by 1945 the guests would number nearly 10 000 & that collectively they would have contributed decisively to the Allied war effort.

A melting pot of Oxbridge dons maverick oddballs & more regular citizens worked night & day at Station X as Bletchley Park was known to derive intelligence information from German coded messages. Bear in mind that an Enigma machine had a possible 159 million million million different settings & the magnitude of the challenge becomes apparent.
