QuoteThe Prince of Wales indulged his inner super-sleuth with a visit to GCHQ Scarborough today, to celebrate the centenary of the oldest continually operating signals intelligence station in the world.
The Prince unveiled a plaque commemorating the occasion and dedicating new accommodation facilities at the site.
Charles was then given a tour of the site, including an exhibition of items from the site's Second World War bunker, which was in operation until the 70s.
Among the items on display was the famous Enigma encryption machine, invented by a German and used by Britain's codebreakers as a way of deciphering German signals traffic during World War Two.
