Bletchley Park - the Fry effect 1:43pm on 12 May 2009 I visited Bletchley Park in 2007 with the Audio Engineering Society and was able to trace digital audio as we know it to the code breakers at Bletchley who used the colossus computer, the first programmable digital computer using about 2500 valves, and it is fitting to preserve this site. Bletchley Park was used to intercept the instructions sent to the german u-boats in the north atlantic and the work done at Bletchley Park during the war is estimated to have shortened the second world war by two years using the enigma machine and colossus. If we are prepared to give banks £900,000,000,000 pounds (we probably won't see that money again soon) to stay afloat with their questionable agendas, then Bletchley Park deserves more of a consideration for her work. As a country we need to preserve our heritage when given the opportunity, and we need to learn from history so we can see the future more clearly.
