Dont rember seeing this reported on here but,
It is sad to announce that Sqn Ldr Jack Jones died on 28th February age 94.
He was also the founder of Channel Airways.
Together with the recent death of Sir Freddie Laker, Southend Airport has lost two men whos foresight and dertimination saw Southend play a vital role in the sucess of air travel today.

Very sorry to hear that – he was my dad’s boss from 1955 until they went into administration in 1972 and during that time I had met him on a number of occasions.
My thoughts are with his wife Cath and his children Carol and Ian.
