While the two stars of the show, Colossus and

they be using original equipment? What was used during the war? Was
it an "Fug O 3" by any chance?
This timetable seems to indicate that it's BP's SZ42 that will be
used by the German side:
Yes it is - I got some nice photos of it the other day when it was on the
bench :) I believe the army actually came in and did the shipment...
AFAIK there's no transmission equipment as part of the SZ42 itself though, so
something would still need to be hooked between that and a giant aerial in
order to do the transmission; I think it was this bit that Will was interested in.
