Announcing New Resources to Explore the Legacy of the Lockerbie Bombing

The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988, was a pivotal moment in history, leaving a legacy of grief and a decades-long search for justice. The story of this event and its aftermath has been the core of our project, which began with Helen Engelhardt's audio memoir, The Longest Night.

Today, we are expanding our resources to offer new ways to engage with this important history:

Explore the New Pan Am 103 Historical Timeline

To provide crucial context to the legal and political saga following the bombing, we’ve launched a detailed Timeline of Events. From the initial discovery of the bomb to the formation of the VPAF103 victims' group and the landmark trial of the Libyan agents, this timeline provides a clear, factual overview of the quest for accountability. We will continue to expand and report on the data as information becomes available, via both the long awaited trial and associated happenings.

A New Theatrical Production: "Small Acts of Love"

The story of Lockerbie continues to resonate. We are excited to follow the development of Small Acts of Love, a new musical play by Frances Poet and Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross. It will premiere at the newly reopened Citizens Theatre in Glasgow next year. The play shines a light on the incredible compassion of the Lockerbie community, whose members cared for the victims' belongings, performing "small acts of love" that built a bridge of healing across the Atlantic.

We encourage you to explore these new resources as we continue to document and remember the enduring legacy of Pan Am Flight 103.
