Dr Maclarn often polarised opinions, but he was of enormous assistance to me in 1999 when I lost my Class 1 medical for 6 months. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Another great loss

Graeme was an inspiriation to those that were having problems with CASA, and other countries medical standards, his never ending positive approach was a delight to behold. Sure, he polarised opinions, kicked the beaurecrats, and would have been a thorn in the side of many.
But he was always ready to call in one of his favours to assist someone else.
I will, personally, forever remember his undying dedication to seeing a problem through to the correct result.
As well as his medical qualifications, of which there were many, Graeme also held a degree in Aeronautical Engineering.

RIP Captain Have a Chat.:sad:

Wow, what a shock. Did my first class 1 with Graeme and many renewals. A real character and a genuinely interesting man.
