- Title:
- ‘File 13/9 Unauthorised flights to Bahrain’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file concerns the anticipated arrival in Bahrain from Baghdad, on an Imperial Airways aircraft, of the Vice President of the American Express Company, Mr [Frank B] Harding. The principal correspondents in the file are the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Lieutenant-Colonel Trenchard William Craven Fowle; the Political Agent in Bahrain, Lieutenant-Colonel Percy Gordon Loch; and the Assistant Political Agent in Bahrain, Meredith Worth.
The file’s telegrams and file notes detail the reluctance of British officials to permit Harding to land in Bahrain, a British national who they mistakenly assumed to be American, fearing that he may be investigating the possibility of opening a branch of his bank on the islands.
