What bomb?

05.09.2009 15:34

There was certainly an explosion on the flight, but the only evidence it was a bomb was a faked fragment of a timer circuit planted by US agents.

Robbie the Pict, with the aid of an explosives expert, supposes it could have been an accidental explosion of an illicit shipment of US missiles. This would certainly explain why the Police put a ‘needles warning’ in the Daily Record
on 27 December 1988 urging people to stay away from one particular area. Needles are heavy, dense and inexpensive and so are never air-freighted, they are ship-freighted - and they are very similar to the flechettes used in modern anti-personnel missiles.

For any English readers tempted to dismiss any investigation by Robbie the Pict on the basis of his name, he is a man of extreme gravitas who was recently voted one of Scotlands top ten legal figures by Scottish lawyers, almost single-handedly ending the Skye Bridge tolls and overturning various other unjust laws. He also served in the RAF and has excellent contacts in this subject that is all too muddied by security service disinformation. He published his initial findings in the prestigious 'Firm Magazine', read by virtually all of Scotlands judiciary and politicians. I republished his excellent initial investigation as a PDF here and would highly recommend all Lockerbie commentators read it:

"
Alternatively, it is remarkable how similar an electric sewing machine needle is to a flechette. This weapon of terror is also less than two inches long, has a flattened portion in the centre instead of a thread hole and has small flights to ensure stability. Known as a ‘terrain denial weapon of terror’ it is dispersed in packs of thousands in an omni-directional scything motion. Witnesses have described victims as both “flayed alive” and “cut to burger-size pieces”. Royal Ordnance, at that time stateowned, were specialist packers of such warheads. There is apparently an art in lacing the layers of needles with the explosive to achieve the correct effect. The missile known as the Lockheed Hydra 70 is equipped to use such warheads.
However, in the development period from the early 1980s up until at least 1992 such missiles were having serious problems with ‘RadHaz’: their electrical components, although very sophisticated, were also very sensitive to extraneous electrical influence, commonly called ‘radiation hazard’. In layman’s terms it was equivalent to a neighbour’s garage door remote switching off your TV every time he used it, an unwanted side effect.
It is perhaps highly significant that the Maid of the Seas exploded during exchanges with Prestwick, when her navigator would be involved in relatively lengthy broadcasts confirming the flight path to be used across the North towards JFK Airport. No attention at all appears to have been given to this most obvious
starting point in any investigation. Instead, we have a rush to judgment in favour of a fantastic conspiracy theory with huge flaws in the technical evidence.
