End of 60 Year Era at Archerfield - George Ditchmen's Final Departure

July 10  2007
The News Desk wishes to advise readers that Archerfield's most well known personality - George Ditchmen OAM - passed away two days ago at the Greenslopes Hospital

Up until a few months ago 93 year-old George still turned up at his business on Archerfield - albeit a lot less frequently than in the previous 'heady' years at Archerfield - he will be sadly missed by all who knew him

 
Two weeks ago George's tools and workshop equipment were put up for auction - rising ground rents and declining aviation activity at Archerfield necessitated the closure of his aircraft engineering business after 60 years of operation



News Desk Comment
The service for George is to be held at the Mount Thompson Crematorium on Wednesday July 11th at 1000hrs
