Condolence: Great sadness to lose a friend whom I know for 43 years. A very caring person. Without his help when I first arrived in UK 43 years ago, I would be what I am today! Miss you dearly John! Sleep well. Wing

Condolence: On behalf of the Association of Aerospace Universities (AAU), heartfelt condolences to his family. Dr John Barnes was the Founder President of the AAU which has gone from strength to strength since its inception in October 1997.

Condolence: To Wilma & Marcia & John's family, please accept my condolences. John & I were Student Apprentices at RAE Farnborough, UK between 1950-55 and shared many happy times together.
John was always a generous minded fellow who loved anything to do with aerospace and did a lot for the promotion of Aerospace Science studies in the UK universities He often claimed that the UK Politicians had recklessly thrown away their lead in aerospace from the 1960s onwards and he never forgave them for that. I was very grieved to hear of his passing and offer my deepest sympathies from Australia.

Condolence: My condolences to his family.

John and I were on the same entry as RAE Apprentices back in 1950
