Ian McKay was the, ‘highest-ranking member of the B.S.A. Police to retire in recent months... who handed over the responsibility for Special Branch to Senior Assistant Commissioner Derek Bennison on 8 October. Born at Harrow, London, Mr McKay had numerous applications for active service during World War II refused because he was then employed in industry vital to the war effort. He attested in the B.S.A. Police on 29 December 1946 and three years later transferred to the CID. The greater part of Mr McKay's service has been in Bulawayo and before taking command of Special Branch at the end of July last year, he was the Provincial Special Branch Officer in Bulawayo for the previous six years. Mr McKay's hobbies include stamp-collecting, carpentry (he makes much of his own furniture) and metal working. Mrs Elizabeth McKay, like her husband, is of Scots ancestry and the couple have one daughter, Ailsa, who is studying pharmacy at Rhodes University. To the McKay family we extend the best wishes of all members of the Force.’ (Outpost November 1976, refers)
