During WW2 just outside the village of St Erth in West Cornwall there was an ‘ULTRA’ secret radio listening station. This was the site of Military Intelligence 6, (MI6), Radio Station St Erth. This station was one of the ‘ears’ of Bletchley Park, the now famous government WW2 code breaking establishment. Mike tells the story of his father’s work at the station, as a radio operator, listening to the German and Italian Secret Services, Double Agents and many of the war’s major campaigns. The station continued well into the 1960s. Over the last few years Mike has given numerous power point presentations, to various organisations, throughout Cornwall, West Devon and at Bletchley Park. Mike’s presentation has numerous slides with sound. The running time is about 45mins to an hour

Mike has also written a book about the radio station entitled – ‘Listening to the Enemy, War comes to a Cornish Village’, now available from the Federation’s bookshop – please click here

Mike will also have his book for sale on the evening at £10
