About this product
Product Information
Behind the celebrated code-breaking at Bletchley Park lies another secret...The men and women of the 'Y' (for Wireless') Service were sent out across the world to run listening stations from Gibraltar to Cairo, intercepting the German military's encrypted messages for decoding back at the now-famous Bletchley Park mansion. Such wartime postings were life-changing adventures - travel out by flying boat or Indian railways, snakes in filing cabinets and heat so intense the perspiration ran into your shoes - but many of the secret listeners found lifelong romance in their far-flung corner of the world. Now, drawing on dozens of interviews with surviving veterans, Sinclair McKay tells their remarkable story at last.

I cancelled the item a few minutes after purchasing it. Payment was still taken from my bank account the day after cancellation. I contacted the seller, but am still waiting to hear from them - and eBay - several days later. I have not received the goods, nor has the purchase price been refunded. I am not impressed with the service - or perhaps I should say, total lack of service.

You were refunded in full as soon as I was aware of the situation. I was dealing with the loss of my husband at the time and though I sent my apologies along with a full refund it obviously did not mean as much to you as your £4.50.
