• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

21st December 2010 marks the 23rd anniversary of the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. 270 people perished in that act of terrorism, including 11 people on the ground.
May the victims rest in peace.
 
I remember it well. I was a member of a Radio Ham emergency communications service at the time and Radio Hams were the only means of communication over the search area for the first couple of weeks. UK laws were changed to allow Hams to operate radios from the search helicopters (prior to that Hams could not operate aeronautical mobile).

I was on stand-by to take part in the search but the search was called off a couple of days before I was due to head north.
