That is very sad news of the Death of Bill Reid he was such a nice chap. PLease let me tell a story here.
Dad,Mum and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Reid at the Toronot Holiday Inn a few years ago for the British Show. Mum actually met him first as Dad and I went to get the car. She was standing beside this older gentle men and they exchanged small talk. Mr Reid said to Mum and what brings you to the British show then ma'am? Mum said well my husband and son are going to meet some "old guy who flew Lancs in the war"! Bill replied " Oh thats Me!"
He was gentleman through and through.
