Bletchley Park WWII staff finally recognised 2

Submitted by 99luftballon
99luftballon writes "Nearly 70 years after Station X (aka the Bletchley Park cryptanalysis unit) was set up the surviving members are to be honoured by the British government. Bletchley was one of the most important computing centres of its time and housed giants of the technology industry (as it was) like Tommy Flowers, who built Colossus, and Dr. Alan Turing. I was lucky enough to meet one of the staff at the site 11 years ago and she was very bitter that their work was never recognised, and that they were bound by the Official Secrets Act and couldn't talk about it. It's just a shame that so few of the staff are still alive to receive the award."
