Sheilah Pitman: Bletchley Park worker, fundraiser and former Conservative Party Richmond branch chairman dies aged 93


A WOMAN who was a tireless fundraiser, resolute in her political beliefs and a former member of staff at the wartime code breaking centre has died.
Sheilah Maureen Pitman (nee Westropp) was born into a military family; her father was Major-Gen Victor John Eric Westropp CB CBE, while her mother Elenita Augusta died when she was a teenager.
During the Second World War she enlisted in the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRENs) and worked at Bletchley Park, where the country’s top brains successfully cracked the German enigma codes, credited as greatly shortening the conflict.

Letters to the editor: Scruton solar farm plans 'not a Hinkley Point'

What I am sure of is that all the people in Scruton will require a good supply of electricity which has to be generated somewhere. It seems that the parish representatives believe that it can be anywhere but not at Scruton, even if it is only a few miles away. This is not a Hinkley Point. ....
