Iain Maconochie GM3GIG died on 19th July 2015 at the age of 94. He was an active member of the Lothians Radio Society in the 1950s and 60s. He was a keen constructor, believing that operators should enjoy and practise the technical side of the hobby rather than just being "black box" operators.

His funeral at Oakvale Funeral Home and subsequent interment at Morningside Cemetery on 29th July were attended by Alan GM3PSP for the LRS. Tom Simpson GM3BCD and Sir Edward Appleton are buried nearby.
