January 2014

In this episode we bring you the entire interview we

recorded with Veteran Wren Bombe Operator, Audrey

Wind, who recalls how she was plucked from filthy

cleaning jobs in basic training & recruited to do a

very, very secret job.

Audrey was posted to Eastcote, an outstation of Bletchley

Park, where she operated Bombe machines. She says

“The pressure was enormous. It took me a long time

after the war to get over it and I’m sure it did for

everyone. It was terribly stressful.”

Audrey’s story will be featured as a DVD extra, when

the second series of the hit ITV drama, The Bletchley

Circle is released.
