Alan Turing to appear on new £50 note

Quoting RetroTechie from World of Spectrum forums:

Just for laughs, they should wait until the note is 6-12 months in circulation, and then quiz the public on who 'that dude' is & what he is famous for... :) But it'll be a while before you can get your hands on one:
The new polymer £50 note is expected to enter circulation by the end of 2021.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :dance
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

That's great news and we'll deserved.

Mrs J arranged a visit to Bletchley Park for my 50th. It was a wonderful day out. Lots to see and do. Well worth a visit.
