The Bletchley Park Trust has lost the plot, hasn't it?
If Computer Conservation Soc go elsewhere and Tony Sale also pulls out
his Colossus, they'll have nothing left to attract anyone to go to
Bletchley Park.
I think I'll insist on my vacuum tubes back, the ones I lent to Tony
Sale.:-)

Closure of H Block Computer Museum
The Bletchley Park Trust has decided not to proceed with the
development of a major computer museum at the present time. Instead
it has offered the Computer Conservation Society, who have built up
the present H Block museum over the last six years, the use of one
of the cottages for future activities. This appears to have much
less floor space than the present museum and is spread across a
number of rooms. The Trust require plans for use of the new
accomodation by December and vacation of the present premises by
March. So you have just five open weekends left if you want to see
something of the computer history now on show at the Park, from a
Sinclair ZX80 to a fully restored and working Elliott 803. Of
course, the CCS now have the problem of what to do with all the
computer kit both on show and in store at the Park.
