| Description:
| Former spy catcher and RAF officer Tony Sale built a working robot out of scrap from a crashed bomber One of the UK's earliest humanoid robots has been unearthed after spending 45 years stored in a garage. The robot's creator, Tony Sale, talks about how George came about. In 1950 Mr Sale, then aged 19, created a robot named George out of scrap metal that came from a crashed Wellington bomber. "At RAF Debden officers were encouraged to build demonstration kit," he said, and George just about met that requirement even though he admits that there was no "specific order" to produce him.
