It was taken about three years ago, but the display area has been developed
considerably since then to demonstrate the "Tunny" cracking process in its
entirety. This includes a replica of the "Heath-Robinson", a purely
electromechanical forerunner of Colossus.

I spoke to Tony Sale briefly on my first visit, not long after the Colossus
rebuild was completed. He was a remarkable man.

Did you know that he was Peter Wright's (of "Spycatcher" fame) wireless
operator during the war ?
