Francis, now 91, kept her role a secret for more than 30 years. Audrey Wind was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park during World War II. She operated the Bombe machine, a crucial codebreaking device, at the Eastcote outstation, which was part of Bletchley Park. She was recruited into the Women's Royal Naval Service (Wrens) and trained in Scotland before being assigned to the top-secret role at Eastcote. Good condition.
