Dear Fellow Aviators,
I would like to thank you all for the kind words you have had to say about Barry and the family. I know that he will sorely be missed by all of us here at Archerfield and especially the Hempels crew. Barry was many great things to many, many people and the sympathy and condolences flooding through the phones are just further proof. We have stood down yesterday and today as a mark of respect for Barry and the passenger on board and will re-open as usual from the end of the week. Although it will be very hard for us emotionally, we will carry on operating into the future without our namesake. I would like to say that we are all still in shock and disbelief over what happened and I can say that it is only just starting to sink in now that the wreckage has been found. Once again thank you for the kind words…
Mike Lawrence
