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.
