at Bletchley Park - mostly original parts reassembled and now working.

Beautiful to watch - all clicking relays and dekatron tubes

A friend (sadly now deceased) used to tell me about how his removal
company transported a computer of some sort from the south up somewhere.
As he lived and was based in Wolverhampton, and the dates make sense, I
am suspecting it was indeed WITCH. His description, so far as I can
remember, also tallies. He claimed that not a single part was damaged in
transit. So rather better than HDNL... :-)
