This week we’re getting techy, very techie, as we welcome Heritage Consultant from the National Museum of Computing Gavin Clarke to rage that COLOSSUS DIDN’T BREAK ENIGMA!

We’ll be talking about the difference between COLOSSUS and the BOMBA, we’ll be talking the difference between ENIGMA and LORENZ, how the respective machines actually didn’t decode and translate for you, and some of the many people in the Bletchley Park team that get eclipsed by Alan Turing.

If you would like to know more then you can, and should, visit the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park where you can see a fully working replica of COLOSSUS. You can follow the museum on Twitter @tnmoc or see their website at www.tnmoc.org and you can see Gavin’s work at www.blendedpast.com and follow him on Twitter @blendedpast
