Scottish Maker Jennifer-Jane Bayliss, has designed and made a stained glass window commemorating the Colussus computer - the computer developed during WWII to break the German Enigma code.

The stained glass window was commissioned by Tritech International Ltd, Aberdeenshire. It depicts Colossus, the world's first programmable (and British!) computer developed during WWII in utmost secrecy at Bletchley Park to break the German Enigma code. It incorporates original radio valves in its construction.

The window's actual size is some 6ft 6ins by 3ft 3ins.  It is built to the full standards demanded of a leaded, stained glass item for exterior display, but its indoor installation is enhanced by mounting in a lightbox using a combination of spot lights and fluorescent tubes to show it off to best effect.   The level of authentic detail is remarkable and it's particularly interesting to note the detail of valves, punch tapes and switchgear.
