AIR COMMODORE T W JONES MA RAF

Group Captain Terry Jones has been a Royal Air Force pilot since graduating from RAF Valley in June 1986. Since then he’s enjoyed several tours of duty flying the Tornado ground attack aircraft and one as an instructor on the Hawk. At the time of writing, his log book records just over 3000 hours of fast jet experience, much of it on operations over Iraq. Terry’s ground tours were in the Personnel Management Agency at RAF Innsworth, the Defence Procurement Agency (now DE&S) at Abbey Wood and Equipment Capability within MOD Main Building. His last post was commanding No 904 Expeditionary Air Wing at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan from where he returned in April 2010. Terry has now taken up post as the Station Commander of RAF Linton-on-Ouse, the RAF’s main flying training base.

Terry is a graduate of the Joint Staff College and speaks passable Russian. He is married to Anna, a critical care nurse, and has two young children. His interests include classical music, literature, boxing and running. An enthusiastic motorcyclist, but not a very skilled one, he now confines himself to racetracks in the interests of public safety.
