EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Colonel The Master of Sempill, a distinguished figure in the annals of British aviation history, is seen supervising the intensive training of Imperial Japanese Naval Air Service personnel in 1921. The Colonel, dressed in his military uniform, stands before a line of Short-built Porte/Felixstowe F5 aircraft, which had been sent to Japan as part of the British Aviation Mission led by the Colonel himself. The arrival of these advanced aircraft marked a significant turning point in the development of Japan's naval aviation capabilities. The F5, a versatile transport and reconnaissance plane, was a state-of-the-art aircraft in its time, boasting a top speed of 85 miles per hour and a range of over 500 miles. Colonel The Master of Sempill's expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping the Japanese aviators master the intricacies of flying and maintaining these modern aircraft. The photograph captures the intensity and focus of the training sessions, with the Colonel providing hands-on instruction to the trainees, who are seen diligently studying the technical aspects of the F5. This photograph, preserved on glass lantern slides in the Royal Aeronautical Society's Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of international aviation cooperation and the pivotal role played by Colonel The Master of Sempill in shaping Japan's naval aviation history. The image is a testament to the global reach of British aviation influence and the enduring legacy of the pioneers of flight.
