View source for 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 (Eastercon)]] 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.
