1940 - 26 July 1940 / Ian Mackintosh / Born
1958 - 1962 Britannia Royal Naval College (18 - 22 yr.)
1962 - 1976 Royal Navy (22 to 36 years old)
1973 - 1977 The Warship / Co-creator / Writer BBC TV-Drama / Navy / 33 yr
1976 - A Slaying in September / Novel / 36 yr
1978 - Alliance Creator / Writer ITV TV Detective-Mystery Series / 38 yr
1978 / 1980 The Sandbaggers Creator / Writer / ITV TV / Espionage / 38 yr
1979 - Thundercloud Creator / Executive Producer / ITV TV WWII Navy / 38 yr
1979 - 7 July 1979 / Died? / Airplane Crash? / 38 yr
1st question.
Ian Mackintosh was / is a white hat.
2nd question.
If Ian Mackintosh were still alive he would be 81 years old, so it is certainly possible.
Below timestamped links to Episode 5 Season 2 of The Sandbaggers. Before Mackintosh disappeared in July of 1979 he had already written the scripts for Season 2 and the first three scripts for Season 3 (broadcast in the spring (S2) and summer (S3) of 1980.
This episode aired 7 months after Mackintosh disappeared. Not much of a stretch to assume his personal analysis is reflected in the dialog.

What I personally find interesting and intriguing is how this extremely prolific creator / producer / writer of Naval Operations (current and WWII), Espionage and Detective Mysteries...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Mackintosh disappears off the face of the earth in the summer of 1979
and then 35000 miles away and 5 years later (1984) this insurance salesman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancy writes this book
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_for_Red_October about submarines, warships, aircraft carriers, naval intelligence, satellite ocean surveillance, the SOSUS (Sound Surveillance System), espionage and the defection of high ranking Russian Naval officers.

Then, in 1991, this guy, after writing two more books...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Games (1987)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_and_Present_Danger (1989)
writes a fourth book, in the researching of he was hosted in Israel by its Intelligence Services and provided assistance in his research... writes this book
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sum_of_All_Fears (1991)
with the following dedication:
"For Mike and Peggy Rogers, a sailor and his lady--- and all the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, because the noblest of ideas have always been protected by warriors"
Now that Mike Rogers is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_S._Rogers
It is unclear exactly when Rogers and Clancy become acquainted..
Was it before or after Roger's 1986 Naval Officer Designator changed from Surface Warfare Officer / Unrestricted Line to Special Duty Officer /Cryptology 1610 / Restricted Line.
1978 1979 1984 1986 1987 1989 1991
Anybody out there got a degree in comparative linguistics and want to take a stab at comparing Mackintosh's writing stylistics and Clancy's writing stylistics.
Just sayin...
As long as we're sitting around watching a movie... may as well write one of our own.
