Flt Lt Mike Barnard/Flt Lt John Sheen
Sunday 12 December sees the 25th anniversary of the tragic loss of Mikey B and Sheeny. Greatly missed, never forgotten.
Yes it was very, very sad. Was with Mikey B on XV Buccs and of course knew John-boy as he was on 16. Both great personalities.
It was a shock - I think it was a 617 jet at night in the wash ranges. Thanks for the jolt that 25 years have passed.

If you are wandering down Lincoln pedestrian precinct, there is a memorial plaque to Flt Lt Barnard at the base of the War Memorial.
Excuse the intrusion, I'm non-mil, but shared formative drinking years with Sheeny whilst supposedly studying Aero Eng at Queen's Belfast. (We bombed out together in '72!)

Can you help me create a scrapbook?
Hi Guys,
I don't know if you are still using this board as I appreciate this thread is rather old. My name is Chris Barnard, I am the youngest son of Michael Barnard.
Something I would like to create is a scrapbook of peoples memories of Mike Barnard and John Sheen to share with the families.
Would you be able to contribute a few of these stories you mention in this thread?
You can contact me at [email protected]
Thank you for your help in advance,
Chris.

Just a quick update to everyone who follows/monitors this thread to say the Sheen & Barnard families had a lovely meetup at the 617 Heritage Centre in Marham to hang plaques for Mike & John on their memory wall.

Great to read your update on your Dad and John-boy as you visited 617.
Here is a pic of XV at Red Flag NOV 1981 - MikeyB back row, just left of the Red Flag logo.
And the mighty Bucc just above the red desert floor.
Always remembered, mate.
