I was particularly interested in the Tommy Flowers portrait and write-up about Tommy. My uncle was part of Tommy’s team at the Post Office Research Centre at Dollis Hill and he also spent time at Bletchley Park working on Collossus and related projects.
Wonderful portraits! Valerie
They are all wonderful
Love Oona King in partic
I know time is short, but do take the chance to follow the name links, what a selection of characters.
Yet more proof that #LondonIsOpen has been the case down the ages, long may it continue 🙂
Marvellous Dan.
Amazing talent. They all speak so clearly of their individual stories.
