Anything to do with Pan Am 103 / Lockerbie.
I was in Strathclyde Police at the time, and finished my early shift at 2pm. Went for a Christmas drink with the rest of my shift, as the next day was our last days off before Christmas. The Christmas drink lasted longer than planned, so about 10pm someone phoned our office (pre mobile phones) to see if the backshift wanted to join those of us still standing. That was when we were told about PA 103, and that the backshift had all been sent down to Lockerbie. They got back to Greenock the next night, having done a 30+ hour shift. The stories that came out over the following months and years were truly horrific, and the lasting effects on some of the Officers who were at Lockerbie were also quite disturbing.
As a side note, the young Detective Constable who found the fragment from the timing device lodged in the baggage container was one Graham Cairns. He was on the same intake as me in October 1982 and we went through the horrors of initial training together. His find did no harm to his career, rising through the ranks to Chief Superintendent.
