A new Picture Gallery has been added to our index - a look behind the scenes at the Witch restoration project in The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park.As well as the key people involved, there is a look at the old days of WITCH in action, in Wolverhampton, and
The Witch arrived at Bletchely in remarkably good condition after more than three decades of storage. Project manager Tony Frazer said, 'We have assembled the frame and it now looks just as it did in its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. Our first task is to see what we can do with the power supply - we dare not just switch things on as time will have taken a toll on the chemistry and physics of the unit'
