Lockerbie Plane Crash - Now Scrap!
What an amazing yet sad picture! The remains of Pan Am flight 103 are still in Roger Windley's scrapyard in rural Lincolnshire. Some 270 died when the jumbo jet was blown up above Lockerbie, Scotland, UK on December 21, 1988. The wreckage was transported to Roger Windley's salvage scrapyard near Tattershall shortly afterwards. Since then, it is believed the firm has been paid about £800 a month to store it. Viewed from the air, Pan Am's distinctive blue and white livery is clearly visible among the 350 tons of mangled metal.  · |

Re: Lockerbie Plane Crash - Now Scrap!
I wonder if there's any plans to recycle any of the materials one day or if it is destined to remain as a scrap heap. Good find.  |

Re: Lockerbie Plane Crash - Now Scrap!
Dad drove through the town in the car and I saw the devastation. "Fucking hell!", said I. I posted up a picture somewhere here of the sight I saw. |
I remember this well. Fucking Lybian bastards.
