My talks, unsurprisingly, are about the Intelligence Zone. I give them in many places, varying from the main auditoriums at  venues including Bletchley Park and Buckingham University down to village halls.

My talks are, I am pleased to say, always popular – and I get invited back, which is nice.

Talk 1 — The Many Voices of Bletchley Park

Learn about MI6's secret WW2  broadcasting stations in the local hills; the many voices of Bletchley Park. 

A tale of generals, spies and saboteurs - James Bond for real!

Revealing how North Bucks has always been at the forefront of communications…and intrigue.
