Barry served in the Royal Air Force

Now in his 80s, Barry reminisces about a better time. Barry served at the Royal Air Force in Biggin Hill and recalls this as some of the best moments of his life. “We were better off back in the war time” as he remembers a community spirit and being treated as a hero. UK-born Barry is the first release in the 1000 Londoners ‘Goodbye Europe’ season.

This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.
