== Life and bridge career ==
Flint was the son of a Leeds surgeon, and was educated at Radley College. He studied to be a lawyer, but soon gave up his legal career. Flint represented Britain in seven European championships, five World team championships and two World pairs. As a member of those British teams he won the European Bridge League championship in 1963, and came second in the world championships of 1960 (World Team Olympiad) and 1987 (Bermuda Bowl). He played rubber bridge and backgammon on a regular basis; this and his work as a bridge correspondent were his main sources of income.〔Hasenson, Peter, ed. 2004. ''British Bridge Almanack''. London: 77 Publishing. ISBN 0-9549241-0-X. Pages 184–85.〕
In an extended visit to the USA in 1966, partnering Peter Pender, he became a Life Master in ten weeks: this was the record until it was broken by Sabine Zenkel (now Auken) in 1989 at eight weeks. They devised the ''Flint–Pender'' bidding system. He was also a collaborator of Terence Reese on the ''Little Major'' bidding system, and the author of several popular bidding conventions.〔''The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge''. Editions 1–4, New York: Crown, 1964–1984. Editions 5–6, Memphis: ACBL, 1994–2001.〕
Flint was bridge editor of ''The Times'', author of some significant books, and participant in successful television programs about bridge. His first marriage, to Susanna, produced two sons: Dominic and Noel. His second wife, Honor, was also an international bridge player. His early death was caused by cancer.
