Andy Clifton

I worked with Barry on the Harrier datalink programme where Barry was responsible for the pilot HMI definition. Barry was a really dedicated professional with an abundance of enthusiasm for ensuring the operator requirements were satisfied. He was also excellent at conveying requirements in a real world sense and understanding system limitations to find practical alternatives. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Barry's pragmatic approach to training needs analysis is both refreshing and valued. Whilst having a deep understanding of the theory, Barry can apply himself well. His enthusiasm and motivation is illustrated in the number of activities listed.
