Robot made from crashed bomber comes back to life after 45 years

For those without access to British newspapers, a lighthearted item
from the past....(-;


.....Former spy catcher and RAF officer Tony Sale, 79, built the 
incredible 6ft high robot, George, in 1950 for just B£15 using scrap 
metal from a crashed Wellington bomber plane.

At the time Mr Sale was only 19 and his amazing man-sized model, which 
could walk and 'talk' stunned the world.

Sadly computers of the time were too crude and big to give George memory 
and intelligence so he was packed away in Mr Sale's garage in Bedford and 
left to gather dust...../snip/
