Code-cracking machine returned to life: Tunny’s BACK … !




Well, now THAT’S a thing … !

I’ve got to admit, I’ve long taken an interest in history, I really have.

And the history of computing — while I’ve no particular academic qualifications to show for it — is something that’s fascinated me for almost as long.

Now, I’ll be frank …

I’m British …

So, given computer history’s so fascinating, you’ll probably not be surprised that me, and some friends visited Bletchley Park, in 2009, home of both the National Computer Museum

And Britain’s World War 2 code cracking centre.

Which is why that link at the top of the page grabbed me when I open my RSS reader.

The fact that the reconstruction of the Tunny machine — that Sue, Andy and I saw, on that visit — is now finished … !

And I’ve got to admit … I’m curious enough to want another visit …
