I have owned my copy of Sir Henry Birkin's "Full Throttle" since I was a teenager. I recently had a browse through and am curious about a signature in it which I have often wondered about. Probably a happy recipient one Christmas long ago but could it be someone involved in the racing fraternity? Does anyone know of a R.G.P.Heard?
Signature in a book?

A Richard G P Heard was married in Hendon district in 1941.
That would seem to make him likely to be a "happy recipient" of the 1932 book.

I've also found him on a 1920 passenger list - aged 4 - travelling with his parents from Liverpool to Bombay on the Circassia. Father an 'executive engineer'.
