Also this.....

Brigadier Sir Richard Gambier-Parry, KCMG (20 January 1894 – 19 June 1965) was a British military officer who served in both the army and the air force during World War I. He remained in military service post-war, but then entered into civilian life for more than a decade. In 1938, he was recruited by the head of the Secret Intelligence Service (also known as MI6). Gambier-Parry led the Communications Section (Section VIII) of the SIS during World War II, and assembled a clandestine wireless network that connected the United Kingdom with SIS agents in many countries. During the war, he was also recruited by the Director of British Naval Intelligence to serve as the radio consultant for Operation Tracer in Gibraltar. Post-war, he ran a network of secret listening stations.

My conclusion is Whaddon Hall

Whaddon Hall, (the village manor) was once home to the Selby-Lowndes family, whose ancestor William Lowndes built the larger and grander Winslow Hall. Both mansions are still private houses. During World War II Whaddon Hall served as headquarters of Section VIII (Communications) of MI6, under the command of Brigadier Richard Gambier-Parry. In February 1940, the "Station X" wireless interception function was transferred here from Bletchley Park.

Admiral Sir Hugh Francis Paget Sinclair, KCB (18 August 1873 – 4 November 1939), nicknamed "Quex", was a British intelligence officer. Between 1919 and 1921, he was Director of British Naval Intelligence, and helped to set up the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, commonly MI6) before the Second World War.

Born   18 August 1873
Southampton
Died   4 November 1939 (aged 66)
Marylebone

In 1938, with a second war looming, Sinclair set up Section D, dedicated to sabotage. In spring of 1938, using his own money, he bought Bletchley Park to be a wartime intelligence station.


I got from this below, to all of the above.

Also: Peter John Ambrose Calvocoressi (17 November 1912 – 5 February 2010)[1] was a British lawyer, historian, and publisher. He served as an intelligence officer at Bletchley Park during World War II.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Calvocoressi

Calvocoressi was born in Karachi, now in Pakistan, to a family of Greek origins from the island of Chios. His mother, Irene (née Ralli), was descended from one of the founders of Ralli Brothers, who were prominent Greek families of Chios who came to London at the time of the Greek Diaspora. When he was three months old, the family moved to Liverpool, England.

Calvocoressi's father Pandia had spent the first seven years of his life in Manchester and the next ten at San Stefano (on the outskirts of Istanbul). He attended the Sorbonne from the age of 17 for three years and then joined the family firm in New York. Pandia Calvocoressi and Irene Ralli married in London in 1910. Shortly afterwards Pandia was posted to India where Calvocoressi was born. His mother and maternal grandmother were both born in India but spent most of their lives in England.

In 1926 he was elected a scholar of Eton in second place, a position which he retained for the greater part of the next five years. Switching from the standard Classical curriculum to History, he was taught by, among others, the young Robert Birley. At Balliol College, Oxford, in 1931–1934, he was tutored in Modern History mainly by B. H. Sumner and V. H. Galbraith, obtaining a First.

A good new novel in all of this.

tell us how you got there?

Hey it was worth a try. 

I am having fun so far. If you let me take another guess 

Crown Inn, Shenley Brook End

brilliant approach, a bit to easy though don't you think

manchester -  sackville park ?

listed between Jerusalem, Israel * Kirkkonummi, Finland * Düsseldorf, Germany

Let me take a crack at this. Does this have to do with Rule 110 because it is considered Turing complete?

is the passcode 000100110 or 000111100?

Bletchley Park is in the wrong answers list. Previous posts have now narrowed it down to within a 100mile radius.

Why can't there be 2 locations in Britain ? The locations relate to people, who are related, that in turn is related to the whole treasure hunt....

Are you having fun so far...?

Harland and Wolff -Belfast

Wilmslow, where Alan Turing died?

Bletchley's Polish Memorial perhaps

@steveturk you've missed this answer, it's not listed in the wrong answers list either.

Is it within Bletchley park? This makes 2 locations in Britain though 

You would have to read all the clues in previous posts, its not Göttingen

Göttingen ?

you have made the most progress so far, lets see how it goes!

The Mansion
Bletchley Park
Bletchley, Milton Keynes

Station X, Government Code and Cypher School, Bletchley

Block B at Bletchley Park

Port Said in Egypt? The location (near) where the enemy sub was reported and Colin Grazier lost his life?
