Overview
The land to the north-west of H Block was the RAF camp during the war.
Faulkner House was built to the north of H Block in 1968, for GPO Engineering, but later for Management Training. Faulkner House was named after property developer Captain Hubert Faulkner who had bought the Park in 1937.
In the earlier days of the Bletchley Park Trust (circa 1994) it housed just part of a computer museum collection which was later moved into H Block to become the National Museum Of Computing.
From about April 2001 museum groups began vacating FH and by early 2007 it was demolished to make way for new homes.
"W/C 5th June 2006 06/00579/LBC West Bletchley PC 06/06/06 - Listed building consent for the demolition of Faulkner House and closure of the doorway linking it to the brick building north-east of H Block south at Faulkner House, Bletchley Park, Bletchley, for Taylor Woodrow and Bellcross Homes."

Ministry of Aviation
The Navaid School (Bernard Sunley & Sons Ltd. architects) was built to the west of H Block in the mid-1960s as a centre for CAA training until about 1991. This was known as C.A.S.T.E. (Civil Aviation Signals Training Establishment).
The field at the back of Faulkner House was used by the Ministry of Aviation for navigation aid training. From about 1972 this was run by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The training airfield was sold off at the same time as FH.
