Worse still, one of them, Lord Sempill, one of Churchill's 'old boy' club was still passing secrets to the Japanese after the war started! The security services who had been aware of him for a long time, wanted to prosecute, but Churchill intervened. He was given the choice of a discharge or to be posted to North Scotland! He died in the 1960s keeping an emblem of the 'rising sun' awarded to him for services to the Japanese Empire!
Another aircraft-Commander Rutland was hired in the 1920s by the Mitsubishi Company to show the I.J.N. pilots how to land/take off from carriers. When posted to Hawaii he sent his Japanese Paymasters intelligence reports on Pearl Harbour.
It is unlikely the Japanese would have had the technical and operational means to attack Malaya and Pearl Harbour without these two traitors and the complicity from the 'establishment' to avoid embarrassment to the Government.

Pearl Harbour and the Fall of Singapore:
70 years ago these huge military disasters shook both Britain and America, but they conceal a secret so shocking it has remained hidden ever since. This landmark film by Paul Elston tells the incredible story of how it was the British who gave the Japanese the knowhow to take out Pearl Harbour and capture Singapore. For 19 years before the fall of Singapore to the Japanese, British officers were spying for Japan. Worse still, the Japanese had infiltrated the very heart of the British establishment - through a mole who was a peer of the realm known to Churchill himself
