Doneded. Never mind a brown spot (hur hur) there should be a bronze statue opposite the HoP lest they forget the consequences of their actions

Would rather put Tommy Flowers on one.

He at least made a 'working' computer - but apparently was not in the right gang.

There's quite a number of people who had something to do with Bletchley Park who have never been formerly recognized for significant contribution to the war effort. AT developed concepts and left a legacy which have been built upon to get us where we are now with computers. TF was also brilliant, but not sure he was thinking as far forward as AT. I'm not an expert, but that's my thought!

In AT's case he was also victimized by the law at the time...but that's something else!

Turing would be an appropriate figurehead for all the pioneers who contributed at Bletchley Park - Tommy Flowers, Bill Tutt, Max Newman, John Tiltman, and others.

We (as a country) also owe him a debt of conscience over how terribly he was treated post-war.
