I had the pleasure of flying with Barry on a number of occasions with Air 2000. He was a great character and such fun to fly with. He and I were rostered to fly together for four days out of Newcastle on short-haul; I remember it went something like this:
Day One: Meet at the hotel in the morning, round of golf, Palma and back in the afternoon, couple of beers and a curry in the evening.
Day Two: Breakfast, round of golf, Ibiza and back in the afternoon, couple of beers and a curry in the evening.
Day Three: Breakfast, round of golf, Minorca and back in the afternoon, couple of beers and a curry in the evening.
Day Four: Breakfast, drive to the Borders, fly-fishing in a boat for a few hours, Reus and back in the evening.
Day Five: Breakfast, round of golf, fly home.
Great memories of happy days with Barry; very sad to hear of his passing.
