An unexpected outcome of working at Bletchley Park is my huge affection and admiration for the wartime pigeons and those who worked with them. Stephen Messenger has written this article for Treehugger about the aerial photographs he obtained using carrier pigeons, with several examples.

Meanwhile we're still waiting for news about when the Station X exhibition will be reopened.
