[[Michael Maltby]] was an [[MI5]] officer killed in the [[Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash]].<ref name="GuardianList">[http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2002/feb/06/lords.politics The 29 who died], ''The Guardian'', 6 February 2002.</ref>

According to intelligence writer Stephen Dorril was amongst the most important of the MI5 officers who died:
::The key person of the six and a totally irreplaceable loss to the Service and the countering of the IRA in particular. As I understand it, Maltby - on his second tour of duty in the province - ran the unit monitoring the [[IRA]]'S collecting and laundering of funds. During the seventies, when MI5 had no responsibility for the IRA, only the Loyalist terror groups, Maltby ran a one man operation keeping track of IRA funds. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to replace such an institutional memory. It is fortunate for MI5 that the cease-fire has made that, for the moment, unnecessary.<ref>Stephen Dorril, ''Lobster95'', [http://www.8bitmode.com/rogerdog/lobster/lobster29.pdf Issue 29], p.14.</ref>
