Lionel Fanthorpe: an amazing guy!

On a social media site there's a group that includes several hundred of my former High School students: it's an honour to be part of it! Today the name of an old friend cropped up: one of the great heroes of paranormal investigations: Lionel Fanthorpe (see photo!) He was my mentor and doyen back in 1972 when we first met. He is still the most published author in the UK - possibly the world - under a variety of noms de plume. (Trebor Thorpe, Pel Torro, Bron Fane etc) He was my friend and Deputy Head at Hellesdon High School, Norfolk, before changing career, eventually becoming a Vicar in Wales. He's written literally hundreds of SF and paranormal books and is a default 'expert' on TV: yet hardly anyone has heard of him!
