Despite such accolades and an exciting life, a secret was discovered upon Barry's death that created a scandal and caused the British military to seal Dr Barry's records for a hundred years.
orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.
