Can anyone tell me who the MCS journalist 'FPH' was/is? He rode a Mead & Tomkinson BSA B50 through France and it broke! I'm a M&T enthusiast and any leads to information etc most welcome.
Thanks.

Hi, Phil Heath was along time contributor to MCS,as well as being a fine racer with the vintage club late sixties and up to the early eighties.He also took part in the MCC long distance trials on a vintage AJS or HRD-the one with an ohv JAP 500. I belive it was his fellow journalist the late John Griffith who made a list of the MCS contributors initials-he humourously suggested FPH stood for "Fred Pot Hunter" I still have my collection of MCS's, from 1963 untill I stopped taking it in the nineties. Ex Norton executive and fine motorcyclist Mike "Jacko" Jackson named it "Motorcycle Port and Lemon" when it lost its way after Cyril Ayton retired.Certainly was !!
