I have just heard this sad news on another forum, Pontefract air rifle club, who have had a long relationship with Bill and Air arms as they supplied all our "Club guns" and pellets too i believe, just one of the many things behind the scenes that they did for our sport, a great loss. I met Bill a few times while at the gamefairs and while i don't know all the details i do know he wasn't always in the best of health and when i met him at the last one he probably should have been at home instead, but he didn't let that stop him.
Rest in peace Bill.

Bill was a true friend and always thought of others before himself. DTSGB cannot thank him enough for all his help. Why do the good ones have to leave before their time?

Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
Slightly camp, makes decent chilli, and has a box of tissues and a can of 3 In 1 in the gun room
I heard this terrible news this afternoon and I was really shocked, I knew Bill was in hospital, but never expected this.
I was going to pop into St. Thomas' Hospital tomorrow, as I'm going to be in the area and I wanted to see how he was.
Rest In Peace Bill.
Not camp, Gary just wishes I were!
