Sempill British Aviation Mission to Japan

Route of Scandinavian and Baltic Sea Tour 1930. William Francis Forbes-Sempill, 19th Lord Sempill AFC, AFRAeS (1893-1965) was a Scottish peer and record-breaking air pioneer who was later shown to have passed secret information to the Imperial Japanese military before the Second World War. In 1921, Sempill led an official military mission to Japan that showcased the latest British aircraft. In subsequent years he continued to aid the Imperial Japanese Navy in developing its Navy Air Service and began giving military secrets to the Japanese. Although his activities were uncovered by British Intelligence, Sempill was not prosecuted for spying and allowed to continue in public life. Date: 1930

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1930 and join Lord Sempill, a Scottish peer and record-breaking air pioneer, on his historic mission to Japan. This rare glass lantern slide from the Royal Aeronautical Society archive captures a moment from the Sempill British Aviation Mission to Japan, which showcased the latest British aircraft technology. Led by William Francis Forbes-Sempill, AFC, AFRAeS (1893-1965), this official military mission aimed to strengthen ties between Britain and Japan through aviation. As you gaze upon this vintage image, imagine the excitement of witnessing cutting-edge aircraft take flight over Japanese skies for the first time. The Sempill Mission marked a significant milestone in international relations between Britain and Japan, paving the way for future collaborations in aviation. But what's not as well-known is that Lord Sempill's relationship with Japan went beyond mere diplomacy. He would later be accused of passing secret information to the Imperial Japanese Navy before World War II. Despite being uncovered by British Intelligence, he was allowed to continue public life without prosecution. This fascinating piece of history offers a glimpse into a complex web of intrigue and international politics during an era of great change. Take a step back in time with us and explore the intriguing story behind this photograph.
