VALE - Lyndon (Don) Griffith

See Downunda Zone for further details.

A very sad day with the passing of Don Griffith, 1922-2003, after a short illness. Don was living in retirement and was an active pilot.

A decorated Battle of Britain pilot, a surviving pilot afterflying the Westland Wyvern amongst many others, a nd in later life a recognised training pilot in the B707 and B747, before he moved to Australia in semi retirment, later moving to the seaside town of Merimbula.

Don's office at Merimbula Airport where he was proprietor of Merimbula Air Services for many years, was adorned with many photo's, no doubt his favourite was receiving his DFC from the King of England.

Thanks Don, the memories will last a very long time.
