Your support can keep our industry's history alive

We had a company outing at the weekend to Bletchley Park for their Annual Enigma Reunion event. A great chance to see the place where Enigma was cracked and some of the equipment they used to do it, such as the working  rebuild of a Turing Bombe

Whilst down there we also took the chance to have a good look around the National Museum of Computing, which shares the site; you know are are getting old when a third of a museum is devoted to equipment you have worked on!

I would urge anyone interested in the history of our industry to take the time to drop by Bletchley Park to have a look at both the museums on the site. And if you can, donate to aid their upkeep as neither Bletchley or the Computing Museum get any governmental support. Think of them live steam preservation societies, full of keen volunteers, with loads of ideas and partially working equipment that just need a bit of money to save a history the UK led the world in.
