Ken Perkins CSAF 75-77
Members will be sad to learn of the death of General Ken who died as a result of a heart attack on Friday 23 October.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday 4 November and following Ken's wishes it will be, a private, family service with his coffin being carried by a group of his ex-SAF colleagues.
It is understood that a service of thanksgiving will be held later, probably in London.
