I have only recently heard of Ken Parfitt's sad passing. If he has already been the subject of a thread here I apologise, but I was unable to find one. He is reported to have died on 24th August 2020 in this obituary:-

He was my boss on 30 Squadron at RAF Fairford following the introduction of the C-130K into RAF service. A happy squadron needs a good boss. Very luckily we had one.
Rest in Peace Sir.
