5     The Manchester Mark 1 team in front of the Replica Baby at the Museum

This picture is one of the set taken by/for Tommy Thomas (far right in the above picture) in June 1998, shown on his website. It is copied here with his kind permission.

This shows an enhanced Manchester Mark 1 team standing in front of the Replica in the 1830 Warehouse: Left to Right: G.C. (Geoff) Tootill, D.B.G. (Dai) Edwards, Tom Kilburn, Laurie Allard, A.A. (Alec) Robinson, J.C. (Cliff) West, and G.E. ("Tommy") Thomas.

This picture was taken after the official Handover Ceremony on the actual 50th Anniversary day, when the Computer Conservation Society formally handed over the Replica Baby to the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. Note that although the only person missing from the original engineering team was Professor Freddie Williams, we did at least have his son present, Professor Fred Williams of Cardiff University, who looks very much like his father (and according to Tom has much of his mannerisms as well)!
