Having visited Bletchley a number of times because of my interest in cryptology in general and being fortunate to have had the friendship of two former Bletchley operatives both now sadly passed, (she Bombe operator, he Hollerith room operator then GCHQ respectively) I think this is a nice and welcome honour.
