(???? – )
R. C. Abel was a UK fan from London active in the 1950s and 1960s. He was a member of the London SF Con of 1952. A letter published in New Worlds #90 (January 1960) more specifically locates him in Kingston-on-Thames and reveals him to have been an F.B.I.S. (Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society) and an A.F.R.Ae.S (probably as Associate Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society). He said that he' d given up on Astounding 'after about 10 years more-or-less regular reading because of its psi-mania' and called for more stories of the 'galactic empire' type:
