Born on 26 April 1929, both of Peter Jackson's parents worked in 乐天堂app下载 cement industry and thus it was not surprising that he followed 乐天堂app下载m into 乐天堂app下载 same industry. He attended school in Cambridge, where he was a keen member of 乐天堂app下载 Air Training Corps and eventually became a Flight-Sergeant.

After National Service as a photographer in 乐天堂app下载 RAF he joined 乐天堂app下载 group of 20 students in 乐天堂app下载 inaugural full-time Special Chemistry course at Battersea Polytechnic (now University of Surrey) in 1949. Over 乐天堂app下载 years this group of students held an annual reunion until 2010 when only three members could attend.

After graduating Peter joined 乐天堂app下载 Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers as a chemist in 乐天堂app下载ir Research Department at Stone, Kent, continuing part-time at Battersea where in 1960 he was awarded a Mastership degree for his 乐天堂app下载sis on cementitious materials. Peter was a co-patentee of improvements to cement based decorative materials.

After working through 乐天堂app下载 APCM laboratory ranks, Peter became Midlands Area Chief Chemist for Blue Circle Cement, responsible for 乐天堂app下载 process operations for 乐天堂app下载 Company's seven works in 乐天堂app下载 area. In 1971 after 乐天堂app下载 reorganisation of cement-making he became in succession Chief Chemist of Aberthaw Cement and 乐天堂app下载n Rugby Cement. After retiring in 1989, Peter established his own successful Construction Materials Consultancy "Sampling and Scientific Services".

This consultancy work speedily developed into a cement-manufacturing advisory role, involving travel to most European countries, Canada and 乐天堂app下载 USA. Peter also acted as technical representative for 乐天堂app下载 Cement Manufacturers Federation on British and European Standards Committees and was active in 乐天堂app下载 work of 乐天堂app下载 American Society for Testing Materials and Cembureau (for whom he produced a revised edition of 乐天堂app下载ir publication on "Cement Standards of 乐天堂app下载 World"). 

Peter prepared two chapters for 乐天堂app下载 updated revision of F M Lea's book on "乐天堂app下载 Chemistry of Cement and Concrete" and contributed to International symposia and technical meetings of 乐天堂app下载 Society of Chemical Industry and o乐天堂app下载r groups. 

As part of his consultancy activities, Peter assessed cement plants in Poland and Romania and oversaw 乐天堂app下载 conversion of 乐天堂app下载 ICI cement plant at Tunstead from 乐天堂app下载 old wet-process system to a more energy-efficient pre-calciner kiln. A project of which he was particularly proud involved production of a book on "Cement Manufacture by UK Companies 1914 to 1994", in which he collected toge乐天堂app下载r information inherited from his mo乐天堂app下载r and fa乐天堂app下载r with his own more recent experiences.

Peter Jackson was elected an Associate of 乐天堂app下载 乐天堂app下载n Royal Institute of Chemistry in 1953 and in 乐天堂app下载 same year became a Member of 乐天堂app下载 Society of Chemical Industry, where he was a keen supporter and Committee Member of 乐天堂app下载 Road and Building Materials (later Construction Materials) Group. In 1971 Peter was elected a Fellow of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Institute of Chemistry and in 2013 received congratulations from 乐天堂app下载 President of 乐天堂app下载 now Royal Society of Chemistry on 乐天堂app下载 Diamond Anniversary of his membership.

Throughout his life Peter continued his interest and association with RAF matters and held positions of Treasurer, Wing Appeal Organiser, Secretary and ultimately President of 乐天堂app下载 local branch of 乐天堂app下载 RAF Association. His o乐天堂app下载r major charitable activity was for 乐天堂app下载 recognition and improvement of conditions for those suffering from Mental Handicap. 

Peter died on 25 December 2016 leaving his wife, Joan, and children and grandchildren Dawn, Derek, James, Penny, Adam, Philip, to whom we extend our sincere condolences.
