Attended New Plymouth Boys High School (Source: RNZAF Biographies (R17845612)) AWMM - Owen Kenyon Jones attended New Plymouth Boys’ High School (NPBHS). He worked as a wholesale merchant and a shepherd before enlisting for the Royal New Zealand Ari Force (RNZAF) in April 1940. Once accepted into the armed forces, he began training in Levin as an Air Gunner. Only two month later, he was sent to England in June 1940. It is here that he received further training and served with several squadrons, including the Aircraft and Armament Experimental Establishment. It didn’t take long before Jones was promoted to the rank of Flying Officer with No. 12 Squadron. He was one of seven crew returning on a mission to Dusseldorf, Germany when their aircraft was hit by a flak over Holland and they were forced to bail out. Only one crew member landed safely by parachute. After the war it was verified that Jones had been buried in the New Eastern Cemetery, Amsterdam in Holland. He was 22 and was survived by his widow and young daughter.Public - Louise - Researcher - 10 July 2019 - West, J. (1995). Lest We Forget.
