John Barnes, FAA pilot
from Facebook:
Veterans' Foundation · We’re saddened to hear of the passing of John Barnes, one of Guernsey’s oldest WW2 veterans, who has died aged 104.🕯️ A Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander, John served for 23 years, flying Swordfish torpedo bombers, protecting convoys, and even sinking a German U-boat during the war. After moving to Guernsey in 1961, he became bursar at Elizabeth College and remained a cherished part of island life. Rest in peace, John. ❤️ 📰: BBC News 📷: Sophie Rabey
