It saddens me to report that we have lost another gentleman from the LAMPOONS/WRANGOONS
Jonathan Stockwell sadly died last week - he'd been ill for several years, but was active in modelling up to the last weeks and had recently showed his latest 009 layout at Narrow Gauge North this year.
He hosted the 009 NEWS envelope stuffing evenings at his home for a number of years right up until Lockdown. Latterly we still met up occasionally at his house for tea, biscuits and to sort the world out.
Others will be able to fill in his life for you, but he was an active member at the Derwent Valley Light Railway, where he was archivist and indeed he wrote "Rails along the Derwent"
He created a number ng layouts.
Sad news, Phil Lockwood had told me he was very ill when he came over to our West Lancs Open Day.
Stan.
More sad news, thanks for posting this Hugh.
Stan told me a little while ago that he had been informed that Jonathan has been ill, the ranks of the "Baby Boomers" generation (of which I am one myself) are thinning out at a growing rate over the past couple of years or so. I didn't know Jonathan very well but have met him at events mainly in the north, on numerous occasions over the years.
