6     The Dewsbury Boys!

Tom Kilburn with Mohammed Khalil. Both were born and brought up in Dewsbury, Yorkshire.

In fact Tom commuted by train from Dewsbury throughout the period of 1947 and 1948 when he was under secondment from TRE (and the winter of 47/48 was spectacularly severe). Given the temporary nature of his move to Manchester, he and his wife lived with his parents.

Khalil has contributed many of the photographs of the Party and Open day. He graduated at UMIST, and was a Research assistant in Hilary Kahn's MINT group and now works at Manchester Computing.
