Richard Farrant 40 Posted Friday at 09:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:55 PM After the premature posts earlier today, it has now been confirmed that Roger Jones, well known for his involvement with the REME Historic Vehicle Collection passed away this afternoon. I had known Roger for 35 years and we used to team up with him and his colleagues at many events as well as parties. My condolences to Roger's wife, family and friends, he will be greatly missed. Roger was REME through and through! Rest in Peace Roger Richard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G506 10 Posted Friday at 10:44 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:44 PM Absolutely gutted to hear this. I've known him since the D Day shows on Southsea common in the late eighties. A great guy. I echo your sentiments, Richard - rest in peace, Roger. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MIKES 0 Posted Saturday at 05:13 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:13 PM Such a shame as a very nice guy with a lot of knowledge. Roger was very helpful to me in the past and I wish I had known him earlier in life. RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scammell4199 13 Posted Sunday at 10:47 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:47 PM Oh my goodness! I first spoke to Roger quite a few years ago about our Scammell restoration, then last year our local MV group arranged a trip to the REME museum lyneham through Roger and he took us to see the hidden collection and let us clamber over everything - fantastic. What a lovely bloke and really knowledgeable. We’ve definitely lost a leading light in the MV preservation movement. Deepest condolences to the family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
