National Museum of Computing

The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, UK is marking the 75th anniversary of the Colossus Mark II computer today with new revelations about its role in winning the Second World War.

The Heath Robinson, a reconstruction of a major piece of cybernetic history and the precursor to Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic digital computer, has made its public debut at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, UK.

The National Museum of Computing has launched the Colossus VR experience. An app, which will let headset wearers virtually stroll around two of the museum's galleries and immerse themselves in the story of Colossus and the cracking of a complex German cipher, is due for release later in the year.

Almost 63 years after it made its debut at a trade show,​ the prototype of Britain's first mass-produced computer has gone on display at The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) at Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes, about 50 miles north of London.

A piece of cybernetic history returned home as a long-lost component of the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC), one of the first practical general purpose computers, was returned to Britain from the United States.

The men and women who built Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic digital computer, gathered at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park on Wednesday for a re-enactment of the day the famous machine began its code-breaking operations against the Axis forces.

A pioneering piece of computing history called "Flossie," the last operating ICT 1301 mainframe, is set for a new lease on life after recently being delivered to the National Museum of Computing in Milton Keynes, UK.
