In this episode, we revisit Bill Fox-Taylor, recorded around three months after our first interview, shortly after Bill had turned 94.

By this stage, Bill’s health had deteriorated, but we still managed to talk about many aspects of his remarkable life, with the help and input of his wife and carer, Hellie.

Bill spoke about his first job as an office boy in the Manchester Corporation Waterworks Department, his time serving in the Royal Air Force, and an extraordinary experience aboard a ship called The Captain Cook, as the captain struggled to enter the Panama Canal during a storm.

There were moments when Bill’s memories were detailed and accurate, while at other times he struggled to find his way through the conversation. He spoke openly about slowing down physically, and the frustration of fading memories and those words that sometimes simply wouldn’t come to him.

Before we begin, I have some sad news to share.

Bill passed away just nine days after this interview.

I feel incredibly privileged to have captured his voice and to have been given the opportunity to share his incredible story with you. His life was full of experiences, memories and stories that deserve to be remembered.

Thank you, Bill, for telling your story and for allowing me to share it with our listeners.

It was an honour.
