Which vital member of the Bletchley Park Codebreakers did not even get a mention in The Imitation Game?
Nope.Was it a dog?
No he was not Polish. Turing did say though the bombe (Christopher as he called it in the film) was inspired by an old Polish design.Was he Polish? Name I do not know, but I think he cracked it first but gave Turing a big clue on how to solve it when they changed the design.

Sorry - I didn't mean to be patronising - the message was for anyone reading it! I did find the order of the tour at Bletchley Park a bit random and it helped a lot to have read books on the subject first. (BTW I agree about history being rewritten a little too much around Turing even though he is one of my heroes) I have read at least 3 books on the subject btw.

Picks a name at random: Rab Butler?
Lady Trumpington. May have been in the cabinet as Leader of the Lords . I’m not 100% sure
Surely not Ramsay Macdonald himself?
Roy Jenkins?
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band? There's pretty much everyone and everything else on there...I didn't know he did that but he was the only Labour Home Secretary I could think of.
Next question:
Which well known album cover depicts, among other things, a group of primates, a beetle, a zebra and a herald beneath some trees in a wood?
... except for most of the things in the question. Sorry, that's not it.Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band? There's pretty much everyone and everything else on there...
Led Zeppelin IV
No, it's not one of his.It isn't by any chance an Elton John album is it?
Some clues:Which well known album cover depicts, among other things, a group of primates, a beetle, a zebra and a herald beneath some trees in a wood?
Correct and a bit further up the road is a light blue Triumph Herald estate, your turn ...Beatles - Abbey Road?
Saw the first clue, then thought of St. John's Wood and The Beetle car
