My old friend Duncan McArthur known as Dunc passed away this evening. Another untimely death. Duncan was the prime mover in the Fessenden centenary celebrations and had a encyclopaedic knowledge of Fessenden's life.

He will be sadly missed.

Nancie, are you talking about the forum's Dunc? The one who always gave us information about Fessenden?

by **Nancie** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:21 am

Yes Bobbie, Dunc from the forum. who was knowledgeable on many subjects. He gave me a lot of information about plane crashes at the Mull of Kintyre which he had personally researched. I will miss him.

Nancie, I am so sorry to hear that. I had never heard of Fessenden until Dunc's information on this forum. He had me googling and searching to find out even more. He was always an interesting poster, with much local information not only of significance to the those in the area, but to those of us far off. My sincerest condolences.

Really shocked to hear this news. Like others I enjoyed Duncan's posts and the forum was the only reason I ever met him.

This is sad, sad news indeed. Thoughts are with the family.

Sad news indeed, a man of much knowledge and also passed all his info to me on aircraft crash sites in Kintyre. Will be missed on this forum.

I never knew him but enjoyed reading his postings a great deal, and shall miss doing so in the future.

Condolences to his family.

Very sad indeed, I'm sure most people on here had never heard of the historic part played by the area in the realm of international communication, before Dunc informed us.

Don't know what to say, totally shocked and almost speechless

Just had an email conversation with him the other day and now he is gone

Duncan will be sadly missed, please pass my condolences to the Family Nancie.

I'm sure Diane, his daughter, will be comforted by all the comments.

The knowledge Duncan had in so many areas will not be replaced. Any questions I had on any subject, Duncan could find the answer. I have emailed his friemds in Brant Rock where the other mast was. They will also be shocked.

I think the funeral is Friday - still to be confirmed.

Ditto!

Did anyone know he was sick, or did he just pass away suddenly??
