Almost forty years after it happened, the Lockerbie bombings still cast a long shadow over the British national psyche. On December 21, 1988, a passenger jet bound for Washington DC exploded in mid-air above the small Scottish town of Lockerbie.
All 259 lives on board were lost, including 11 on the ground who were pulverised by the falling debris. It still remains the worst terrorist attack perpetuated on British soil, and a source of endless on-screen fascination.
