Bill had a difficult time raising money for the Bomber Command Museum (now the Bomber Hall at Hendon) partly because of the anti-military atmosphere in some parts of British society in the early 1980s.

He visited one organisation whose chief executive explained that they would find it difficult to contriibute as they were trying to build links with their twin town in Germany, and asked whether Bill had visited it. His reply was along the lines of "Only once, in a Wellington, and I didn't stay long!"
