At the front of my copy of Chess Treasury of The Air (Penguin, 1966) it says of one of the contributors, not a strong player:
T Ellerten-Rice is one pseudonym of a poet and radio-writer in his late forties.
Who was he?

Ta. I should probably have got that, but I never was any good at spotting anagrams. Spent too much of my youth on chess instead of crosswords.

I didn't spot It's Only Me, for instance...
