The Airborne Forces Association of Western Australia (formerly the Pegasus Association) was founded in 1968. The Association’s focus has been, until recent years, primarily for the benefit of Ex Airborne Forces and related Regiments and Corps service members and veterans. The recent decline in Ex British Services Association’s in Western Australia due to dwindling member numbers and subsequent interest, resulted, in many instances, in dissolution and laying up of Regimental Colours and Standards. The Airborne Forces Association of WA recognised the need to provide a home for non-Airborne Ex British Service members/veterans and subsequently created a Friend Member category for those wishing to continue a social liaison with like-minded ex-military veterans.
