F. V. A. Scales

(???? – )

F. V. A. Scales was a UK fan from Portsmouth active in the 1940s. He was a member of the Science Fantasy Society (SFS) and he attended the Loncon of 1949..

Mr Scales was more than usually a victim of bad or at least inconsistent typing. In the Operation Fantast Trading Supplement of July 1948 he is 'F. V. A. Scales'. In the SFS membership list in contained in Science Fantasy News #2 he is 'E. V. A. Scales', and in the list in #5 he is 'B. V. A. Scales'. We have no idea which, if any, is actually correct, but there's a bit of evidence in favour of the F. variant as he signed a list of attendees at the Loncon and that looks more like an F than any of the alternatives. To complicate things still further, the Loncon programme book says that among those expected to attend was a T. Scoles of Portsmouth.

He does not appear in the Directory of Science Fiction Fandom of 1955, just as well as the odds are that this would have introduced another variant.
