Archerfield Workshop Closure
|
|
May 1
 After 18 years of servicing and repairing
light aircraft from around OZ and PNG the workshop, Archerfield Aircraft Maintenance, closed the hangar door yesterday
for the last time
|
|
Started by Jim Mitchell back in the early '80's, after a stint at RQAC's Air Charter and Air Gold
Coast, Jim sold AAM a few years back and went to PNG servicing aircraft
|
|
From News Desk recollections, Jim served his apprenticeship at
Archerfield's Air Express back in the '60's (Air Express closed back in the late '70's)

New Flying School @ Archerfield
|
|
May 7
As with light aircraft workshops at Archerfield that seem come and go over the years, so do the flying
schools
|
|
The "grape vine" has it that another flying school is about to start
up in business in a one-man-band operation along the lines of a few similar attempts years ago
|
|
Further details will be provided as time progresses, the CASA approvals
do take time to organise!
