My grandfather worked at Bletchley park (used to play chess with Turing) and when he saw "The Imitation Game" he said it was nothing like working there. He said they were all much more respectful and wouldn't yell at each other like in the movie.
- hendekagon 11y agoIt was a shit movie, and in addition to the "team tensions" trope, apparently Turing wasn't ashamed of being gay at all Could you get your grandfather to blog his memories of Bletchley & Turing ? People would be fascinated
- ianopolous 11y agoI would love to, but sadly he died last year.
- hendekagon 11y agoah, sorry
- ianopolous 11y agoNot at all. You didn't know.
- mdn 11y agoMy Grandfather (Max Newman) was also at Bletchley Park. From 1942. Who was your Grandfather? Which Hut did he work in? Perhaps they met or knew each other.
- ianopolous 11y ago:-) His name was Gordon Preston. He also worked in the Newmanry, so yes they did work together! :-)
