A project to restore early flight simulators has won an award for the best computer conservation project.

Engineers from the TechWorks museum in the US won the Tony Sale award for their work to return three simulation machines to working order.

One of the contraptions, known as the Blue Box, was used to train thousands of pilots during World War Two.

The award honours the life of Tony Sale, who pioneered efforts to remember and recreate historical computers.
