Mystery of its future use: Bletchley District Gazette, 28 May 1938. Pages 3–4 Bletchley purchase: interview with former MI6 officer who managed the service’s archives, 17 October 1995. The official MI6 history cites evidence in the Land Registry files that ‘strongly suggests’ Sinclair was reimbursed, but these documents, the details of which were already known, do not in fact strongly suggest anything. They show that Sinclair left the Park to his sister Evelyn who signed it over to MI6. If he had been reimbursed it would be unlikely that he would have left it to his sister; he could have signed it over to MI6 himself. It may have been of course that she was reimbursed after her brother’s death but there is certainly no evidence of this. The only money exchanged when she signed the Park over was a 10-shilling legal fee. The Sinclair family wealth was such at the time that Evelyn did not need the money and having spent the last years of his life with her brother she would certainly have known what he wanted done with the Park before he left it to her.
