A History of the History of Bletchley Park and Colossus
In February Professor Brian Randell visited the National Museum of Computing at
Bletchley Park and, in front of the rebuilt Colossus,
gave a fascinating talk on how, in the early 1970s,
he uncovered the then secret of Bletchley Park and Colossus.
Crossing swords with the security services and the then Prime Minister,
Professor Randell slowly teased out the truth of the long hidden world of Bletchley Park.
Now available on video here.
