Very sad to announce the passing of the wonderful Bill Neilson on the 12th June. He slipped away peacefully after a brief illness.
He was born in Fife and in 1941, with the reluctant permission of his mother, went to Edinburgh to enlist. Following training, Bill went on to be a staff pilot with Armament School at RAF Manby.
Bill is pictured below at the opening of the IBCC on a very cold April day.
Bill was interviewed for the IBCC Digital Archive in 2016. You can listen here https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.a...document/11426
