This is George. He's a six-foot tall robot handmade from the aluminum
scraps of a crashed bomber in 1950. George is remote controlled, and
was built by Tony Sale, the same man who recently resurrected the
nearly forgotten robotic darling from the storage shed where he's
spent the last 45 years or so. Some oil and batteries were all it took
to get George up and walking again, and he'll now have a permanent
home at the National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park,
Buckinghamshire, England. And that's the next museum we'll be
visiting, because we cannot get enough of this giant. Tear-inducing
video is after the break.
