Thornton and MacDonald released after the Metro-Vickers Affair, 1933, (1935). L.C. Thornton and W.L. MacDonald arrive back in England after an international crisis, in which employees of the Metropolitan-Vickers electrical engineering company were tried by the Soviet authorities on charges of economic 'wrecking' and espionage.

Thornton and MacDonald, were sentenced to imprisonment, but were afterwards released as a result of diplomatic negotiations.'
