I found the following page on the official SIS website, discussing the the relationship between SIS (aka MI6) and GCCS: http://www.sis.gov.uk/output/Page474.html It says that, "In July 1938 Sinclair purchased Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire as a wartime evacuation location for both his organisations. Both moved there in August 1939." I was interested in what was known about SIS at BP. Did they stay long or transfer there in any number? I know that MI6 set up a radio station at BP, and Tony Sale has one web page which says that, "On 1st August 1939 SIS and GC&CS moved to Bletchley Park, "the war station". SIS occupied the first floor of the Mansion with GC&CS occupying the ground floor." http://www.codesandciphers.org.uk/virtualbp/bphist/bphist.htm -- Matt Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Matt_Crypto Blog: http://cipher-text.blogspot.com ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
