We stopped for a quick lunch on our way to Manchester at the exit for Lockerbie. I mentioned to Greg that I felt like I should know why Lockerbie was significant. He reminded me of the bombing that brought down a Pan Am flight there. A quick search revealed we were close to the memorial site for the crash so we detoured.
It was in a small cemetery in town.
As we were leaving a youngish couple was walking up to the Garden of Remembrance. They were driving a Rolls Royce Ghost.
After we left Greg was reading the facts on the air disaster. Libya settled by paying each family $10M. I have to wonder if by chance that couple was somehow impacted by the disaster. Regardless, it was sobering to see how many families lost multiple family members.
