Knew him in the early 60's - two specific memories -
1 - when we met at a major control after a night in the Welsh Mountains on the 1964 RAC Rally - his greetings question was "How many times you been over?"
The roof panel on his Mini was replaced almost every event he did!
2 - Upon entering the 1965 Welsh Rally I was surprised to be seeded 51st - the top 50 cars were all Works or sponsored entries. Thanks Barry. He was on the seeding committee.
My job took me overseas soon after that so I never met him again. Great pity. Not only a great character but a friendly, helpful, funny one.
RIP - Derek Harling
