I believe Multics had an implementation.? It's possible you might find
something there.
This is a pointer to an Algol 68 preservation effort. Presumably, you've
already chased a few of these down?

I?ve been in contact with the two companies that took over various aspects/projects from
RSRE - DSTL and Altran UK - but the enquiries dwindled into silence as have several
requests from universities I knew had the compiler back in the day, including my own
Liverpool.
I haven?t quite lost hope but I?m getting there.
