Default SOE Agents Talk at Station X (live event on Sunday)

In 1940 Winston Churchill established clandestine war - the SOE - to "set
Europe ablaze". On this 60th anniversary of the war ending, Ralph Barrett,
G2FQS, describes the courage, activities and apparatus of SOE agents in
enemy territory. Because of monitoring, wireless operators were in
particular danger. His presentation takes place at 12.00 noon on Saturday.

5 March at Station X, Bletchley Park, 50 miles from London. A live radio
transmission will be demonstrated using SOE equipment. There is no charge
for the lecture but there is an admission charge to Station X, which is open
from 10.30am to 5.00pm. A guided tour is included. It is not necessary to
book tickets in advance.
