It will be part of a display presented by the National Codes Centre from Bletchley Park, which will be explaining how the codebreaking was done.

Ramsey 1940's Weekend is being held on Saturday and Sunday, August 16-17 at RAF Upwood and will be a mixture of nostalgia, living history and fun activities as the event recreates the sights, sounds, dance and music of the era.

The display from Bletchley Park is coming to the district after recent national news stories about the lack of Government funding for the museum, and organisers at Ramsey hope that the display will help raise the profile of the cash-hit centre.

Member of the weekend's organising committee Andy Elsom said: "Bletchley Park and the cracking of the German's Enigma codes during the Second World War was probably Britain's greatest contribution to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany.
"While there is no doubt that the Russians provided the men and blood that defeated the Nazis, and the Americans supplied the technology, Britain certainly supplied the brains.

"The lack of central Government funding for Bletchley is nothing short of a national scandal - I just hope events like Ramsey help raise the profile of the Codes Centre and helps them raise the necessary funds to keep going."

The story is certainly a compelling one and centres around the work done at Bletchley Park – codenamed Station X – to crack the Germans' Enigma Codes during the WWII.

It saw a group of mathematicians, crossword enthusiasts, linguists and other assorted boffins crack the Germans' "unbreakable" codes.
At its height, the codebreakers were decrypting the messages before the frontline German units they were intended for. They also built the world's first programmable computer - which was named Colossus - to help them do it.
