Pat Harrington-Johnson was a South African newspaperman who covered motoring and shipping for the Natal Mercury before and after World War II and he was involved in editing what was the most remarkable motoring magazine ever produced.
Harrington-Johnson was born in 1912 in the Forest of Deane where his father was the village curate. The family moved to South Africa in 1917 for the sake of his mother’s health because she suffered from acute asthma and it was hoped that the change to a warm climate would relieve the ailment.
