During the Second World War, less than 10 miles from the museum’s home at East Fortune Airfield, women were being trained to be secret radio operators. They would go on to help spy on and disrupt the activities of Nazi invaders across Europe.

Learn how secrets were hidden and shared during the Second World War with our family activities. Make your own code and learn how codes were broken. Then try your hand at Morse Code, semaphore and secret writing.
