Brilliant, but firstly Allan Turing was more than a key codebreaker he was the codebreaker who found a solution to solving the Enigma codes.

Secondly, although Operation Ruthless didn't go ahead, British Intelligence used the basis of the idea on more than one occasion for example nabbing a German U-boat, getting below before the captain could skuttle it, retrieving the Enigma codes and then blowing it up so the crew thought they went down with the sub.

On 25 August 2008 Bletchley Park will be celebrating the Centenary of the Birth of Ian Fleming and his famous wartime connection with Bletchley Park with a whole host of Spy and Double Agent Activities, Talks and Exhibitions.


On that day, a certain other person will be celebrating his 78th birthday too.
