BHCR Honorary Member

At a lunch hosted by the BHCR committee recently, Mr W.K. (Bill) Henderson was made an honorary member of the BHCR in recognition of his service to Scottish motor sport over more than 60 years.

Bill attended his first Bo'ness Hill Climb in 1946 and since then he has covered most of the motor sport events in Scotland in the last 60 years. For more than 50 years he was the Autosport representative in Scotland and he also visited many of the circuits down south including the 1955 British GP meeting when Stirling Moss narrowly won from Juan Manuel Fangio.

Before his retiral Bill was an art teacher and he has also supplied technical illustrations, paintings and photographs for many books on motor sport.

Bill continues to take photographs at all Scottish motor sport events irrespective of the weather. He is always the perfect gentleman and a very worthy first honorary member of the BHCR.
