Wireless Experimental Centre

The Wireless Experimental Centre was one of two overseas outposts of Station X, Bletchley Park, the British signals analysis centre during World War II. Situated at Anand Parbat outside Delhi [ [http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/content/archive/mar1944.rhtm March 1944 : The Invasion Postponed] , from Bletchley Park archives, accessed 15 February, 2008] , it was staffed by members of the Intelligence Corps, the British and Indian armies and the Air Force. Under Colonel Peter Marr-Johnson, it was used partly as a wireless intercept station for Japanese codes. There were two outstations at Bangalore and Barrackpore, and about 88 listening wireless sets around India, and several mobile Y-stations.
