Following received from Joan Mettam.

Sadly- Blue John Robert Barlow crossed the bar early this morning. Not sure if you knew him – served up here in the 70’s. I’m very uncertain on dates. He then joined the Airport Firies (AFRSS is hopefully the correct acronym) and had a long career with them.

He’s been fighting cancer for some time, so was no surprise to me, but that doesn’t help.

I’ll keep you posted on any service
