I've re-joined this site today as I couldn't let such a sad and wide reaching tragedy like this slip away.
I knew Pete and though I never flew with him I enjoyed a drink with him on a couple of occassions.
Everything that needed to be said about Barnsey's professionalism, competence, love of his family, raconteur and almost iconic status within the industry has been thoughtfully posted on this thread.
It shocks, saddens and leaves a big hole as well as many question marks about why and if only..........
If I was half the pilot that you were.........
Rest in Peace
