On behalf of the West Melton Airfield Committee, we send our sincere sympathy to Liz and family. Donn was a wonderful friend and hard-working contributor to Canterbury Aero Club. We enjoyed many flights together in EIP and we will always remember his legacy as we look around the airfield.

I'm very sorry to hear of Donn's passing.
My sincere condolences to Liz and the extended family.
I worked with Donn in the valuation field where he was held in high regard and as a younger valuer he was always available to for a chat and to bounce ideas off.
Donn will be greatly missed.

Our farm was adjacent to the Armstrongs so we grew up together. I remember him carrying Betty to school. A true gentleman.
