Dr Jim Swire began his campaign for justice after the death of his 23-year-old daughter Flora Swire in the 1988 bombing of a Pan-Am jumbo jet flying from London to New York, which claimed the lives of all 259 people on board, as well as 11 people on the ground in the Scottish town of Lockerbie, where the plane finally crashed.
