8
At 00:01:11,439, Character said: what happened, but they're never going to  tell." In the beginning, a hand, a bag,

18
At 00:02:25,520, Character said: survivors that this indictment has been returned.  Their loss has been ever present in our minds.

31
At 00:03:53,680, Character said: for him that will never return. I was driving  along the road there. They're just pieces of  

32
At 00:04:04,719, Character said: something lying on the road and nets and a bag.  And when I g***t out of the car to shift them,  

33
At 00:04:11,840, Character said: I found well, it was a luggage, a hold. And uh  chucked everything off the road to get past. And  

34
At 00:04:17,920, Character said: I drove back up to the farm. And when I g***t here,  there was nobody in the house at all. The dog,  

35
At 00:04:24,319, Character said: they were waiting the road. I'll found it  later on. But when I g***t back, there was shoes,  

36
At 00:04:29,199, Character said: people shoes, and a burst aerosol can. I can  remember the m it was spraying about in the  

37
At 00:04:35,199, Character said: doorstep in front of the house. Later on, a fella  landed in for the I don't know if it was mountain  

38
At 00:04:42,160, Character said: rescue. It was a bloke with a dog and explained  what had happened that a plane had crashed. So,  

39
At 00:04:48,720, Character said: I went out with him. I think it was about 2:00  in the morning when I g***t back. And he had the  

40
At 00:04:53,600, Character said: dog maybe looking for well somebody thinking might  be somebody still alive or something or whatever.  

41
At 00:05:01,360, Character said: I could really see we're finding great big bits  of airplane and just seemed to be hundreds of  

42
At 00:05:07,439, Character said: suitcases. There wouldn't have be, but it  seemed like it at the time. And also a lot  

43
At 00:05:11,680, Character said: of Christmas presents that I Yeah, they were  perfect. And there was nothing wrong with a  

44
At 00:05:17,360, Character said: wrapping on them or anything. I think the worst  was I picked a we picked a present up and it  

45
At 00:05:26,000, Character said: uh on the card in the outside it said sorry  she couldn't have be back for Christmas and I  

46
At 00:05:33,279, Character said: kind of just mind what it was but that really was  quite sickening to think that the lassie that was  

47
At 00:05:38,000, Character said: sending it would well she'd never be back. Jane  and I were both uh at home in Bronze Grove and  

48
At 00:05:43,279, Character said: um I was actually in my study doing a kind of  family calendar with a picture for each month  

49
At 00:05:48,720, Character said: for various people for Christmas and Jane called  me through because she'd heard on the television  

50
At 00:05:53,199, Character said: about an air crash. And uh first my first reaction  was that it couldn't be anything to do with Flora  

51
At 00:05:59,360, Character said: because I thought she would have been uh out in  Mid-Atlantic by that time. And in fact, of course,  

52
At 00:06:03,920, Character said: we didn't know that the plane had been delayed a  little bit. But I just came through and we watched  

53
At 00:06:08,240, Character said: these dreadful pictures of the little town of  Locker being in flames and and at that time  

54
At 00:06:13,920, Character said: I I think I I felt it wasn't Flora's plane. The  plane did come down actually where houses were.  

55
At 00:06:20,160, Character said: Houses are not there now. It's just a bit cr where  the houses used to be. There was debris falling  

56
At 00:06:25,279, Character said: everywhere and I thought the whole roof was going  to cave in and I us looked out the back window and  

57
At 00:06:30,319, Character said: all I could see was fires starting up, you know,  just right over the whole countryside was blaze.  

58
At 00:06:38,959, Character said: I knew Flora had left that evening for the States  where she had gone to stay with her boyfriend over  

59
At 00:06:47,199, Character said: Christmas. And um I switched on the television  just for something to look at while I made the  

60
At 00:06:54,879, Character said: supper really. And there was this news flash  that there had been a crash in Scotland of a  

61
At 00:07:03,199, Character said: Panama plane. Well, immediately my heart began to  thump because I knew she was traveling by Panama.  

62
At 00:07:14,319, Character said: I was sort of gripped with that icy cold fear  that I think every mother has when her children  

63
At 00:07:21,439, Character said: are in danger. It's just the most incredible  devastation. It's just uh it's unbelievable.  

64
At 00:07:28,800, Character said: It's it's impossible, I think, to just to  even imagine such an extraordinary tragedy.

65
At 00:07:39,040, Character said: We had an aircraft going out that night, a  727 which was taking various members of our  

66
At 00:07:45,839, Character said: company up to locker and also uh we had a private  aircraft to deal with uh which was um the American  

67
At 00:07:54,240, Character said: ambassador who was going up to the site. As far as  I can recall, there were about 40 people excluding  

68
At 00:08:00,879, Character said: crew on board, of which I would estimate uh 50%  of those were known to me as Panama people. Uh  

69
At 00:08:08,639, Character said: the others I I wasn't aware of their affiliations  at all. on the night uh I was started to set up  

70
At 00:08:16,959, Character said: a control room and by about between 11:00 and  midnight we actually had a member of the FBI in  

71
At 00:08:24,879, Character said: the the office uh who came into came in introduced  himself to me and sat down and uh and just most of  

72
At 00:08:32,240, Character said: the night observing what was happening. the  local police force Duncan Gallery. Uh they  

73
At 00:08:38,879, Character said: were concerned at the swarms of Americans fiddling  with bodies and shall we say tampering with those  

74
At 00:08:48,960, Character said: things that the police were carefully checking  themselves. I'm not pretending that they said  

75
At 00:08:54,559, Character said: they are from the FBI or the CIA. uh they were  just Americans who seem to have arrived extremely  

76
At 00:09:02,639, Character said: quickly on the scene. I was asked to go to various  locations in and around Lockerby to look for  

77
At 00:09:10,480, Character said: bodies. At first it was in the early hours of the  morning in very high winds about 30 40 mph ground  

78
At 00:09:17,600, Character said: level. When we'd uh gone down one large field  and identified about 10 bodies, we thought we  

79
At 00:09:24,559, Character said: ought to retrace our steps and put some form of  identification on them. And so uh the only thing  

80
At 00:09:30,240, Character said: I had with me was a a...
