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. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/technology-obituaries/8733814/Ton y-Sale.html

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. Best Bernardo Bangor University (UK)
