My brother Richard Caperon, who has died of cancer aged 71, became active in radio while he was at university and, possessing what was described as a “perfect radio voice”, decided that would be his career.
He was employed by the British Forces’ Broadcasting Service (BFBS) and following training with the BBC was posted to Malta in 1977, where on-air schedules were taxing. Nevertheless, his voice became known to many thousands as he presented slots on Family Favourites for BBC Radio 2 on Sunday mornings. This continued after a move to Cologne in the late 1970s.
