: Hello PAN AM AIRS and many of my friends from
: our PAN AM. I have just come back from a
: trip to the storage facilities at Marina
: Pinal Park and came across an extrodanary
: piece of info from one of the Australian
: News papers namely the Sunday Mail here in
: Brisbane QLD. Here is what the article
: reads.
:
: RETURN LIBYAN BOMBER;
: Rome: Muammar Gaddafi has demarnded the
: return of the jailed Lockerbie bomber in an
: extraordinary encounter with British Prime
: Minister Gorden Brown.
:
: The Lybian dictator used their first face to
: face meeting at the G8 meeting in Italy to
: raise the case of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al
: Megrahi, who was convicted of the blowing up
: of PAN AM flight PA103 in 1988. He insisted
: that Al Megrahi, who is suffering from
: prostate cancer in a scotish jail be
: returned to Lybia.
:
: Scotish judges this week delayed completing
: an appeal against his conviction until at
: least September. The Lybians insist he risks
: dying behind bars. Pending an appeal, the
: national;ist goverment in Scotland is
: considering a request for him to be allowed
: to serve the rest of his sentance in Lybia.
:
: Relatives of some of the victims of the
: bombing said they would feel betrayed if Al
: Megrahi, a former Lybian secret agent, goes
: home.
:
: Mr Brown said last night he had told the
: Lybian leader that he could not
: intervene,adding there;s a request from
: Lybia and that has to be dealt with by the
: Scotish administration.
:
: Yesterday's meeting at the G8 sumit in
: L"Aquila, Italy, marked the latest
: stage in Col Gaddafi's journey from
: international pariah to man of trust.
:
: In 2004 Mr Tony Blair flew to Lybia to
: restore relations with Lybia after years of
: this inquest into the downing of an American
: airliner in 1988 killing all on board and
: the familes and victims who died on the
: ground.
:
: Well my personal opinion after what these
: people did which was a very cruel and
: criminal unjustified acts upon the victims
: there families and the crew they should
: remain behind bars made to suffer or die in
: prison. Did they have any remorse on what
: they did or even gave a thought to what they
: had done. "NO" Even today it's
: long gone but never forgotten and will
: always be remebered. I would like your
: thoughts from any one who reads this board
: or who the people who lost there loved one's
: of our people from PAN AM to list there
: thoughts on this. I feel it would be a great
: shame and mis trust to the British Goverment
: or to the G8 leaders to allow the removal of
: these people back to Lybia. Who knows they
: would be free over there and this could
: repeat again. Thank you Have a good one---WS

:Hello my good old veteran friend Captain Willie Singh. Long time know see. I remember our flight together #815 LAX/HNL/NAN/AKL 9/15/78 N740PA Ocean Pearl 747-123 jet Gee we were lucky to get in that foggy morning at AKL we were floating on thin ice that morning. I still have that log data of that jet. Hop--skid--jump--crunch--touch down--shake--rattle--roll. Yep there the good old days Willie. I sent you an email so you should have that. Yes surprising to hear many years after these evil people want to bring home these people serving time for a horrific display of evilness among the world. I have no time for them let them remain behind bars they still pose a risk to anyone or any airliner out there. What they done was a low very in humain act towards inocent people and to Americans and the British for downing a huge giant aircraft and destroyed human lives in the air and on the ground. It's unforgivable and not forgotten in my mined that night over Lockerbie and to the minds of others. Willie can you please contact me so we can have a chat i herd your getting a 742 airframe and making a PAN AM Museam there in Australia soon. Good luck with it. Ride high---GS/F/O
Best Wishes
