Having learnt from telegram No.2 from (Grp. undec.)
Mohammerah that Iranian Naval authorities had spoken about
violations of Iranian territory by British aircraft escorting
convoys, but that in case of further violation aircraft
might be fired on, I tried to forestall protest from
Iranian Government by speaking to the Director General
at Ministry of Foreign Affairs and saying that if such
violation occurred it was due to mistake easy to make with
high speed machines and so on. I have, however, received
note of protest as regards encroachment on Iranian
territory by a British machine which flew over Ahwaz on
1st May, and requesting steps to prevent recurrence, and
asking to be informed of result.
It will be readily understood that not only is the Shah
very sensitive about sovereignty and neutrality, but that
presence of British forces in Iraq, British character of
Iranian oil concession, and fact that possible occupation
of oil area by British, is a useful German bogey, make it
essential that there should be no encroachment on Iranian
territory.

The file also includes: two bound and printed copies of the APOC Concession 1933-1993, printed in French and English, and accompanied by a fold-out map of the concession area (ff 127-149, ff 150-172); an illustrated brochure, published by APOC in 1924 to commemorate the company’s stand at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 (ff 109-126).
