The VCF was a resounding success, progress on some of our larger restoration projects, IRIS has a problem and needs your help and staying cool in the hot weather

With a tremendous team effort and a mad panic in the last few days we were finally ready for the event... and boy what an event it was. You've seen the press articles, now it's time for a behind the scenes exposé.

The VCF is only 2 weeks away, we begin guided tours of the museum on non-opening days and our resident archivist notes the Pilot ACE is 60 years old.

IRIS needs a bit of TLC and a tape drive, a potential fix for the EDS80 disc drive bearing issue, Arthur C clarke in the archive and we need your dosh!

The Harwell Dekatron Computer makes a noise, OMD at the VCF and recent fundraising opportunies for companies and individuals.

Apart from a very busy Easter weekend, things have been ticking along nicely at the museum.

We huffed and puffed to add an ICL system 25 to our collection, the 803 does its bit for global warming and a request for some old copies of a well known publication

Elliott 803 training, archive expansion and other goings on at the museum during the past 2 weeks.
