Historical Note

U.K. Families Flight 103 was founded April 1, 1989 in London, England by relatives and friends of those who died as a result of the December 21, 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The group primarily represented the British and European victims' families. The proposed aims of U.K. Families Flight 103, as outlined in their June 1989 meeting, are "to provide mutual emotional support and friendship by creating relationships between the relatives who had shared experiences," and "to press for an independent inquiry which, it was hoped, would result in improved security measures, as well as the formation of a National Disaster Committee."
