1950's Red Swim Briefs
 

I was watching the Alan Turing docu-drama on tv last week. He was the brilliant mathematician who broke the German Navy Enigma Code during the war, built the first computer and invented artificial intelligence. He also did some work on the maths of animal colour patterns.

When reporting a robbery to the police he admitted that he was gay and was sentenced to take eostrogen hormones to chemically castrate him. It didn't stop him being gay, but made his manhood shrink and caused him to grow breasts. It also caused his thinking to become comfused.

Special Branch began following him and despite holidays in France and Norway his life became more difficult until he committed suicide.

As background to his holiday in the South of France they showed footage of carefree French swimmers and divers in 1950's swim briefs. I just managed to save one frame and realised it would make a really cruel puzzle. So in memory of Britain's greatest gay codebreaker, the man who made the computer you are using possible I bring you this:

what a tough puzzle, but love the image of the two divers... thanks

...................and let's not forget what prompted it. Alan Turing's name is probably unknown in the world beyond Bletchley and his treatment a disgraceful indictment of the bigotry and ingratitude of those times when he was working selflessly in the national interest.
