Hi
After studying the publicity it would appear that the VCF-UK is simply
another in a series of events organized by Bletchley Park themselves. I
suspect that a lot of what you might see is already there. Note that the
show is sub-titled "A history of computing in the UK" The only non-uk
reference appears to be to Amiga. Likewise the speaker list is mainly UK
biased.
So if you are a collector of US made equipment then there might not be that
much to interest you. On the other hand fans of Acorn, Sinclair, ICL and the
like may well have a lot to see.

Didn't know about it?!
It has been mentioned here before a few months back, but it was probably
part of a thread where the topic drifted.
From what I remember, it was mentioned in passing.
There was no clear
announcemnt of times/dates, no requests for people to bring
along
machines and/or give talks/demonstrations/whatever.
Where was it officially announced? Where would I have volunteered to drag
along one of my more interesting machines?

Just done a little digging (up to my neck in CPU's!!) and found this on
TNMOC's official site:

It doesn't say much. There is a little more in this news article:
