Rory Cellan-Jones reports on the life and achievements of Tony Sale

Here's my report about Tony Sale, the outstanding engineer who led the rebuild of Colossus, the first modern computer, who has died aged 80.

The mammoth project to recreate the code-cracking Colossus capped a career built around electronics and computers.

Most recently, Mr Sale drove the campaign to save Bletchley Park, where Colossus aided Allied code-cracking efforts during World War II.
