RARE footage has emerged of Second World War spies at the home of British codebreaking.
The 11-minute silent film shows smiling staff who worked for MI6 Section VIII at Whaddon Hall in Buckinghamshire - a secret site next to Bletchley Park. The footage, which has been donated to Bletchley Park, has been described as an"astonishing" discovery because filming and photography were strictly forbidden at the site. Codebreakers at Bletchley Park decrypted the Nazis' Enigma machine messages, helping Allied commanders to shorten the war.
