*The article I was quoting in SVR News 35 specifcally refers to an amicable settlement with Dr. Gwynne-Jones, using "Dr." twice. However a follow up article in SVR News 37 refers to the remaining coaches owned by Mr. Gwynne-Jones. Plus the Stock Books use "D.R." rather than "D.R.G."
*The obituaries report in SVR News 106 (Spring 1993) refers to the passing of Mr. D. R. G. Gwynne-Jones of Brecon. A quick Google finds reference to D. R. G. Gwynne-Jones in connection with Brecon Cathedral and a book on Africa, but neither clarifies one way or the other. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 22:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
::He is mostly referred to as D.R.G. with the odd reference to Professor, and a scholarship at Cambridge. An intelligent guess is that he had a doctorate and was Dr in academic circles. There's no hard rule, but there's a good deal of English style guide/etiquette that only medical doctors use the Dr title outside academia. I propose we refer to him as D. R. G. Gwynne-Jones throughout, for consistency, unless anyone disagrees?--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 23:14, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
