Amazing work once again Horus. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and it's sourced excellently. This also vindicates claims made by a figure of the past, in relation to ownership and control of "civil service public broadcasting abroad". I wonder what impact if any many of these people also had on the later creation of "Boards" like the "Coal Board", for example.
Yes. And their involvement, and previous iterations of the same bodies incursions and subversions abroad. The 30s spin surrounding the German's (makes even Campbell look like a child). An interesting story from just before this could be that of C. Codreanu's in Romania, although he suffered an internal power struggle with Bolshevik's. Although even at that, you could easily say that those Bolshevik's were advancing the same interests as those people you've listed in this article. This was, as you, I, and many others correctly identify, a global struggle (they didn't "struggle") from an organised minority.
Other notable boards from a video documentary I have been making for a while: - National Health Service [functionally the same as a board]
- Bank of England [beginning of central banking]
- British Electricity Authority
- Cable and Wireless
- British Railways [national rail]
- British Road Service
- British Waterways
- Iron and Steel Corporation of Great Britain [and again in 1967 as British Steel Corporation]
On Cable and Wireless, some of the same names appear in your article as do there, often relatives or people they were associated with. For obvious reasons, notably the BBC's reliance on Wireless telecommunications and HF transmission infrastructure.
The Imperial Wireless Chain project ended up being converted into Cable and Wireless, I believe.
The power struggles in Romania are interesting. You'll see a few mentions in my last two or three articles. Lord Lloyd was particularly avid about separating Romania from Germany, which I think contributed to Romania's dismal fate soon after.
I'll be interested to watch your documentary when it's ready.

Or the Gas Board. What do you mean about civil service public broadcasting abroad? Do you mean, say, the BBC World Service?
