Terror Victims Photo Gallery Unveiled in Lockerbie
The most comprehensive collection of victim color photographs and related stories, published to date, can now be seen at the Tundergarth Remembrance Room. Visitors can put a face to 261 of the 270 victims and read biographies of 269 of the 270 killed on December 21, 1988.
For the first time and nearly 35 years after the terrorist bombing of Pan American flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, a collection of color victim’s photos along with their corresponding biographies were revealed near Lockerbie in the Tundergarth Remembrance Room.
This collection of photographs, presented on six temporary banners alongside computers where visitors can read about each victim, represents the most comprehensive collection of victim photographs and stories published to date.
The bombing of Pan American flight 103 / Lockerbie Air Disaster remains the second most deadly terrorist attack against the U.S. and the deadliest terrorist attack on UK soil.
Murdered in the attack were 270 people from 21 countries. When the Remembrance Room opened in June 1990, it contained a copy of On Eagles’ Wings victim remembrance book which included information and/or B&W photos for just 168 of the 270 victims, leaving 102 victims unknown. In the year 2000 a second edition was published containing information and/or B&W photos for only 204 of the victims, leaving 66 victims unknown.
With the installation of the banners and two computers that display the PA103LL’s expansive Living Memorial, a digital collection of 270 intimate multimedia victim profile pages, visitors to the Remembrance Room and virtual visitors can now put a face and story to 261 of the 270 victims and read biographies of 269 of the 270 victims. Our 270 profile pages allow visitors to see who the victims were and to learn about how they lived.

As in both editions of On Eagles’ Wings, our Living Memorial victims information was taken from family members and from various forms of print, film and other media.
Virtual visitors can access the Victims Gallery and individual Living Memorial pages online at www.PA103LL.org. Victims’ families and visitors are invited to honor and upload tributes, photos, write messages, and contribute tokens of memory.
Once the Pan Am 103 Lockerbie Memorial Museum opens its doors, this temporary banner display will be converted into a permanent exhibition, similar to the 911 Memorial Museum, that contains a gallery with an 8" x 10" color head shot for each victim.
