A dead pigeon discovered recently in a chimney in Surrey may be able to provide new answers to the secrets of World War II.

The pigeon had a secret coded message attached to it, which has stumped code-breakers at GCHQ.

Can you help crack the code?

The pigeon message is as follows:

AOAKN HVPKD FNFJW YIDDC
RQXSR DJHFP GOVFN MIAPX
PABUZ WYYNP CMPNW HJRZH
NLXKG MEMKK ONOIB AKEEQ
WAOTA RBQRH DJOFM TPZEH
LKXGH RGGHT JRZCQ FNKTQ
KLDTS FQIRW AOAKN 27 1525/6

Hmm don't know about that brendan. There was some program on about bletchley park a few months ago and they had codes that looked like that floating about.

I get impression even if it was "words" they didn't break them up into word sized gaps as that would be too obvious so even if it was
