This question was originally at the bottom of the article:
Yes, the correct name is Barnes Neville Wallis - Julian Temple, Curator of Aviation, Brooklands Museum
This should be mentioned, but I'm short of time: [1] Andy Mabbett 23:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
As his wife has now been included under "personal life", it says she was his "cousin-in-law". That would make her his wife's cousin or him, her husband's cousin! Clearly that's wrong but as I don't know what their relationship was, I can't correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.228.132 ( talk) 00:17, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
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
This could be a B if ... Victuallers ( talk) 12:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
A question to native English speakers: what is the correct spelling of Sir Barnes surname?
Does anyone have any references to his work on the radio telescope at Parkes Observatory?

It's GEODESIC, not GEODETIC. I can't seem to edit it for some reason. Can someone fix? Bobkeyes ( talk) 02:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
I have been transcribing some voice recordings from cassette to MP3 format. These include some of Barnes Wallis describing various projects. These are in the Brooklands Museum Archives. Is there a suitable forum to distribute this material on Wiki or other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwarner30uk ( talk • contribs) 10:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Can Kangoule please stop removing the entry re Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham Boys' Grammar School Barnes Wallis has a Blue Plaque in New Cross testifying to his having lived there. I am a local Old Askean and I can tell you categorically that he was educated there, though perhaps for less than a full year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.16.106 ( talk) 15:06, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

The Schütte-Lanz airships SL1 and some others built in Germany by that firm had geodesic construction well before R101. See Article List of Schütte-Lanz airships. I think this fact is worthy of a simple inline note. I used to know Chris Wallis quite well and he was a brilliant carpenter/timber engineer. I don't believe his father would have wanted to suppress a precedent to his ideas. Okan 13:07, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Barnes Wallis was the 'Treasurer' of Christ's Hospital from about 1961. This did not involve day-to-day financial administration, but the Treasurer chairs the Council that runs the school. He was known to be a 'hands-on' Treasurer. He also had an honorary doctorate of science from Cambridge University, awarded in 1965. Thereafter he always wore the Cambridge robes on ceremonial occasions, discarding the robes of the honorary doctorate he had held previously (from Bristol). He entered Christ's Hospital in 1898, at which time the school was still in London, though it moved to Horsham in 1902 while he was a pupil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD5:170:0:E4A1:40E4:E74F:A721 ( talk) 16:22, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
