Sempill British Aviation Mission to Japan
London to Australia - comparative time taken on journey by different modes of travel. 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: 1920s

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1920s and join Lord Sempill, a Scottish peer and record-breaking air pioneer, on his groundbreaking journey from London to Japan. This stunning print captures a moment from the Sempill British Aviation Mission, a historic expedition that showcased the latest British aircraft to the Imperial Japanese military. As part of this mission, Lord Sempill led an official delegation of pilots and engineers to demonstrate the capabilities of British aviation technology.
The image is a rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when international relations were being shaped through technological exchange. The mission was not only significant for its demonstration of British innovation but also marked the beginning of Lord Sempill's long-term collaboration with the Imperial Japanese Navy.
This photograph is just one piece of archival treasure from the Royal Aeronautical Society's collection, offering us a unique window into an era when aviation was still in its infancy. The image has been carefully preserved as a 3-inch square glass lantern slide, providing us with an intimate view of this remarkable period in history.
