Colleagues

It was a big item on the BBC's main evening news and also on their website. 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14726045 There are also other pages there.

Martin Campbell-Kelly also wrote an obituary for major national newspaper.

I thought some might be interested in this note although it was only
covered by the local press (see link below). Tony Sale was a driving
force in the rebuilding of Colussus at Bletchely Park. I never met him
or his team but I thought that it was fitting that SIGCIS acknowledged
his work.
