I am sorry to hear that he has passed away, but you and the rest of your family are more than entitled to be very proud of his work.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-54378110933025399932016-04-02T16:31:49.052+01:002016-04-02T16:31:49.052+01:00I would just like to thank you for your kind words...I would just like to thank you for your kind words about my grandfather Ken Jones work. I was always fascinated as a young child watching him create these fantastic models in his workshop. When he took his model fleet to the historic dockyard in Chatham we were so proud of him. Unfortunately my grandfather passed away in September of last year but it fills me with joy to see people talk about his work with such high regard.<br /><br />Thankyou<br />Luke SingerLuke Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335944519130798225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-11043904730763773102015-10-14T14:04:01.273+01:002015-10-14T14:04:01.273+01:00Nigel Drury,

I seem to remember the 'River Plate' quartet were all made to the same scale by one man, a Ken Jones, and recall wondering if this was the one-time editor of Military Modelling. Wish I could produce something half as good.joppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334867727613848852noreply@blogger.com
