Question about Sir Frank

This sounds like a silly question, but I do have a reason for asking:

Does anyone happen to know Frank Williams' middle name?

Thanks guys. The Owen cllinches a debate I've been having.

I knew that he started racing in his own right in small saloons during the early 1960s, and I was having an argument with someone who didn't believe the FO Williams I found in a programme was the same fellow as Sir Frank.

Driving an Austin A40, which he bought half-shares in with Frank Sytner, I believe. How times change!

Sounds like it is- I'm sure I've gto a photo in a book somewhere of him racing- or possibly crashing- the A40....
