[edit] Name

This question was originally at the bottom of the article:

The names Barnes Neville Wallis and Neville Barnes Wallis are used variously across sources. Anyone know the correct version?

Yes, the correct name is Barnes Neville Wallis - Julian Temple, Curator of Aviation, Brooklands Museum

[edit] Wife

This should be mentioned, but I'm short of time: [1] Andy Mabbett 23:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Knighthood

Wallis' postnominals only include a Commander of the British Empire (CBE), but he is referred to as "Sir Barnes". Later in the article, it credits him with a knighthood in 1968, presumably a KBE. The British Honours website doesn't seem to have complete lists of all recipients, and a quick google was inconclusive, so I'm not sure how to correct the article.

Barnes Wallis was awarded a Knight Bachelor in 1968 and I have shown Kt against his name although technically it may not be correct to include it. But the Royal Airforce Museum show it this way, so I have followed suit. Tony Knight - Barnes Wallis - researcher
