I don't think anyone has mentioned the most heinous crime of all committed around this time by surprise surprise a socialist government and in particular Stafford Cripps. That crime was the gifting to the Soviets of a number of RR Nenes, on the basis of not being used for military purposes, yeah right! The Soviets were having trouble at the time with their own axial flow of German design. A delegation was also allowed to tour RR and wore soft soled shoes to collect alloys samples. Why the entire labour government were never put on trial for high treason, I have never understood.
