(1922-1998) UK author best known for his work in Fandom and Fanzines, where in echo of the shorthand surnames of Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man (January-March 1952 Galaxy; 1953) he was often nicknamed Vin¢. He was the principal editor of Science Fantasy News (with Kenneth Bulmer), the first winner of the TransAtlantic Fan Fund (> Fan Funds) – though unable to make the journey to America – and a founding member of OMPA (which see). His sf consists of two unremarkable collaborative novels, Space Treason (1952) and Cybernetic Controller (1952), both with Kenneth Bulmer. [DRL]
