Ha! Thats pretty cool. I'd be tempted to have a crack but if GCHQ have managed to crack it then I dont think I stand much of a chance :lol:
I'm surprised this hasn't popped up on unfiction yet.

I didn't think this story would continue, but it has:

the code may have been cracked using and old WWI code-book.

Ha! That's pretty cool. What are the chances of someone so far away having the information to unlock the code?
I wonder if we'll ever be told what it says?

Well, here is some text and discussion.

I think it's cool too, that someone got informed and managed to decipher it and linked it to even the original sender of the pigeon.
