In loving memory of Donald Alfred Woodland who sadly passed away on 17th December 2022

Donald was born in Southborough to Doris and Alf, he was the youngest and had two elder sisters Iris and Freda.

Donald met and married Sheila, they have two children Mark and Claire who all lived in Rusthall in a house that was a continual 'work in progress'!

Donald's passion was aviation and he spent many happy times with his model aircraft and eventually realising his dream and learning to fly.

Mark and Claire's childhood was spent at either model aircraft shows or full sized aircraft shows - if they weren't there then they could be found at Lydd airport watching the aircraft take off and land - simple but fun times.

Donald will be sadly missed by his family but we hope he is now enjoying some of Iris' amazing baking.

So sad to hear this news. Don was a close friend of my dad's. He taught my fad to fly model aircraft. Spent many a happy weekend at the flying field. My condolences to Sheila and family

Don was one of the most patient model aircraft trainers, I learnt so much from him and will always be grateful to him for getting me through to solo on my models. Don you will be sadly missed. God bless
