I see mention of Barry's passing just weeks after Stan left us. Those two must have almost joined up together and had very similar careers in that they were both CFR later on. I think that is Barry in the front row, second from left. Most of their service was well BMT so I am a little vague on details.  |

Baronbezza, both Barry and Stan were Airframe fitters and good mates at the Airframe Reconditioning Squadron, at Woodbourne in the late 60's early 70's. I worked with them both when they were Corporals, and then Sergeants. Both top guys, RIP both of you.
