From Phil Bowell
So sorry to hear of the passing of Ken - I worked with Ken in Load Control whilst in operations. He was a good solid team member. I will often recall the philosophical discussions held with Ken and other members of the Load Control and Advance Load Planning team in the office when confronted with sudden vast amounts of excess baggage causing Cargo to be off-loaded. Sincere condolences to Linda and the family. RIP Ken - Fly High
From Graham Davey
So sorry to learn that Ken has passed. I lived with him and Alan West at Beverly when I joined the ticket desk around 1968 and they were both lovely guys. My sincere condolences to Linda.
From Peter Barrie
Ken and I worked together in Load Control for quite a while and he was great company. A lovely sense of humour and dedicated airline man. Ken and Linda popped into to see me and my wife when they were in Australia a few years ago. As usual we had a great time reminiscing about the “good old days”.
From Charles Manetta
So sorry to hear. Please may I offer my condolences. Ken was a pioneer of those early days, and a true colleague to all of us.
