In the garage at Bletchley Park

I was fortunate enough to visit Bletchley Park last week, the site of Great Britain’s code-breaking activities during WWII, and now a museum. I’m still in the process of scanning the roll of HP5+ I started on while there, but today’s post contains a couple of images from the initial strips of negs.

These are a couple of vintage vehicles housed in the garages at the rear of the main hall building. The light was pretty dim – the weather forecast that morning predicted thick cloud and overcast conditions, though they’d managed to get it somewhat wrong as it was brilliant sunshine all morning. The bright light meant many of my outdoor shots now had to be shot at f/22 & 1/1000s due to the sensitivity of the pushed film! It was advantageous in the dimmer indoor areas such as this though.

Anyway, here we have an Austin Six ambulance, and a Sunbeam-Talbot 2-litre Sports Tourer.

    1. Yeah, loads to see and learn – far too much for the few hours I was there (especially as I was taking photos as well as trying to take in all the information). The pass I have is valid for a full year, but the museum isn’t close to where I live so I’ll probably not get to take advantage of it unfortunately.
