(???? – )

Richard J. Vowles was a UK fan from Kent active in the 1950s. He attended the London SF Con of 1952, arriving at Vin¢ Clarke's flat on the Wednesday as described in Science Fantasy News Loncon supplement:

Major event Wednesday was appearance of Richard Vowles, the neo-fan, on a motorcycle that looked like a 2052 model, I talked myself hoarse for a couple of hours on s-f and fandom, carefully explaining,that fans were the cream of the earth, sane, progressive, intelligent, and readers of SFN. He dashed off at about 11.15 pm., just when I was getting into the primary stages of the subject.

He reportedly appears in one of the photos offered for sale in the Loncon supplement so presumably he came back once the convention had started.
