The name of Kenneth Gatland stands out because like Clarke he went on to become President of the BIS and a recognised authority on spaceflight. At the time of the 1944 Eastercon he had already started on his career:

"In 1941 K W Gatland & H N Pantlin formed the Astronautical Development Society. This was an outgrowth of the Hawker Model Flying Club, and the two founder-members worked at that time as junior draughtsmen at Hawker Aircraft in Kingston-upon-Thames. Soon, Gatland and Pantlin...had built a small rocket test stand and for the next two years developed tiny solid-propellant motors for model aircraft and developed a ducted motor which used ingested air to supplement the exhaust gases."

- from 'THE ROCKET - the history and development of rocket & missile technology' by David Baker, 1978.
