I am loving this news story.

WWII pigeon message stumps GCHQ decoders

I don't know whether to hope that they do manage to decipher it and it reveals some dramatic tale of woe and loss - or whether to hope that they never manage to, thus retaining the air of mystery...

I like the idea it's a letter to Santa :-)

That is a great story. :-)

Not Dad's department, unless it's actually written in Russian, but I have a feeling I may work with a connection of the quoted GCHQ historian.

*agrees*. I think I hope that they do decode it, but the Guardian tells me that's unlikely, and in any case what a disappointment it would be if it turned out to be something really dull.
