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.

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.
