Hi Geoff... None...it's an extrapolation of the rightful indignation historically expressed by both the general public and the indigenous art communities of most countries when items of artistic, historic and cultural significance are threatened with export...but perhaps you're implying that the crypto community has no soul :-)) David *************************************************** David Hamer dhamer-GtBi7nRvUo08ep5uyLeENA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *************************************************** Thread at a glance:

They certainly don't seem to be very much appreciated where they are. I know nothing more about this museum than what I read in Martin's post but I find it encouraging that the Duke of Edinburgh is its patron. As The Palace points out: "The Duke of Edinburgh takes a hands-on approach to the organizations which he represents". And I suspect the increased attention now being paid to virtually all aspects of intelligence might stimulate interest in preserving it's history. One can always hope.
