Of course, you're right Craig. I think the IET has mashed that together 
from two different press releases from the museum of computing. They're 
really not so far behind down at Savoy Place!

You were honoured to work on it.

By the way the Science Museum in London is jumping on the band wagon 
with it's own exhibition from July.

<https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/top-secret>

"Discover the remarkable world of codebreaking, ciphers and secret 
communications in our upcoming must-see, free exhibition.

"Top Secret coincides with the 100th anniversary of GCHQ, the UK’s 
Intelligence, Security and Cyber agency."

Cheers,
Sam
