Lieutenant Commander Hamish Ian Mackintosh (born 26 July 1940; died on July 7th, 1979) was a British Royal Navy officer, a thriller author, and a screenwriter for British television.
Early life, education and family
Mackintosh was born in Inverness and raised mainly in Tain, a tiny town in the Scottish Highlands, and was introduced to Annie (née Lawrie) and James Mackintosh. His mother was a governess, and his father was a naval officer. Mackintosh, a student at Inverness Royal Academy, initially applied to join the Fleet Air Arm as a pilot but was turned down due to bad eyesight. For the same reason, a subsequent attempt to join the Royal Air Force was turned down. Mackintosh applied for admission to Britannia Royal Naval College in 1958 to train as a Royal Navy officer after an additional year of study. He married Sharron Carter, the daughter of a Royal Navy officer, in September 1969, and the two children had two children. Mackintosh and Carter divorced shortly after.
Career
A Slaying in September was Mackintosh's first book, and it was published in 1967. Between 1967 and 1970, he wrote four other original books; his later books were either based on his television series or were novelizations of televised episodes of his television series.
Mackintosh co-created the famous and acclaimed BBC television drama series Warship (1973–1977) while serving as a Royal Navy officer and wrote several of the episodes. It was hosted on board the fictional HMS Hero (F42), which was portrayed by the authentic Leander-class frigate HMS Phoebe. In the 1976 Birthday Honours, Mackintosh was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire on his retirement from the Royal Navy.
After Warship, Mackintosh created and wrote the bulk of the Wilde Alliance, Thundercloud, and The Sandbaggers, who worked as a screenwriter on Yorkshire Television.
