Sebastian Macmillan writes: I am the son-in-law of Robert Macmillan. This Wikipedia article started life on 2016-12-29. It is based partly on a transcribed recording of an interview I conducted with him on 2010-06-06, and partly on publicly available information about for example, MIRA and in Who's Who. The book titles have all be checked through Cambridge University copyright library. I also wrote the three obituaries listed, which are equally based on the same material, though they are typically shorter. I have sought to keep all four versions slightly different to avoid copyright infringements. Sebastian Macmillan (talk) 18:10, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
