I found it in a world Atlas, it's just to the South of Costa Rica, I'd never heard of it before!

The only reason I heard of it was through Pan Am Flights. Hey didn't a Pan Am flight get bombed over Lockerbie Paul? That was a horrible disaster.

Yep, it did it December 1988! That's the only thing the town is famous for all over the world. I live in Ecclefechan 7 miles from Lockerbie, and I think some of the wreckage landed in the field just at the end of my street! At the time I was only aged 7 and lived in Drummore in the very South West of Scotland looking over to Ireland so I don't know much about what happened! I have seen the street where residents were killed when the wreckage landed on their houses though. I see one of the Lybian's has been found guilty of it!

Wow, what a story Paul. I watched a documentary on how it may have been planned, and I saw the two Lybian guys they are trying to nail. At that time though, they had nothing on them, so couldn't produce a trial, but don't quote me on that.
