The Lockerbie Boeing 747 was a television star

The aircraft destroyed during the Lockerbie bombing was the fifteenth Boeing 747 produced, delivered to Pan American World Airways in February 1970. This long-haul aircraft named Clipper Maid of the Seas displayed 72,464 flight hours on the clock on the day of the tragedy. Ten years before the disaster, in 1978, it had appeared on screen in the fourth episode of a BBC documentary series titled Diamonds in the Sky.
