I have just received the sad news from Lawrie White that his much loved wife Jackie passed away peacefully yesterday. She had been suffering from an aggressive brain tumour since before Christmas which was one of the reasons for Model Slipway closing down and being unable to respond to subsequent enquiries in recent weeks.

Both she and Lawrie also contracted Covid 19 and spent time in hospital, Lawrie was particularly seriously affected and the outcome was in doubt at one point. Fortunately he made it through and was able to care for Jackie in her last days and was with her at the end.

Many of us will have had contact with Jackie over the years and remember her patience and unfailing helpfulness as the ‘face’ of Model Slipway both in running the business and in appearing at many shows over the years. She will be very much missed.

Thank you for let us know. If had the privilege to keep in contact with the family over the last few months. I have phoned Lawrie sometimes one a week or more we can be all assured that Jackie has received the best treatment during her illness. A real loss to model world Jackie was part of a model team that we loved.

RIP Jackie.

I am so very sorry for Lawrie’s loss and a sad loss to all who met her personally to experience her enthusiasm and warm genuine welcoming to their models. R.I.P. Jackie and my deepest sympathy to Lawrie.

I’ve just had an E-Mail from Colin Bishop. Although the news was expected there’s no hiding from its shock. It was a true privilege to be able to work with Lawrie and Jackie on their Model Slipway kits. Liz and I are sitting here utterly alone with our thoughts of such a wonderful couple. Take heart, Lol – you were a very fortunate man indeed to find such a treasure as Jackie.

Both Flo and I are deeply saddened by this news - even though we knew what was most probably on the horizon.

Model Slipway was, IS, the benchmark in quality that we aimed to have with Linkspan - and to converse with both Jackie and Lawrie was a real pleasure.

Our sincerest condolences Lawrie - and rest peacefully Jackie - we are both so sorry for your loss.

Having known Jackie and Lawrie over the years, Jackie was always a welcome face and made us feel welcome on the stands.
Many correspondences by email, nothing was too much trouble.
The Model Slipway team was a small and personal one and she will be sadly missed by me and my wife, but every time
I look at my Model Slipway collection I will always remember Jackie
Lawrie our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Very sad news, Nothing was to much trouble when dealing with Jackie
and Lawrie, Jackie was more than helpful when helping me with the

My condolences to Lawrie.
