Saving the Past, Funding the Future

It’s stories like this that get me thinking about saving sites of historical importance for future generations. Of course funding is always an issue but it’s  surprising to me that Bletchley Park struggles to find the financial support it needs.

Maybe I’m wrong about this but it would seem to me that if Bletchley were in the States it would be financially secure for two reasons. Clearly there’s more money out there to spread around but Is it also the case that Americans value their history more than we do? Does a thousand years of history make the British complacement?

A grateful nod to the volunteers that continue to offer their time and money in support of East Anglia’s old airbases.
