Sad to report that renowned air safety writer and true gentleman Macarthur 'Mac' Job passed away this afternoon, Wednesday 6 August 2014. Mac had been battling cancer for several years.
I visited him a bit over a week ago and he was quite philosophical about what was to come. He was not in pain or suffering, although feeling very tired.
There is a biography of Mac on the CAHS & Airways Museum website -
Airways Museum / Civil Aviation Historical Society
Goodbye Mac - you will be greatly missed!
