5.30pm, Dec 21, 1988

At Gate 14, in Heathrow’s Terminal 3, passengers for Pan Am Flight 103 are starting to board the Maid Of The Seas.

The Boeing 747 has been refuelled for the 3,000-mile flight to New York and the last of the luggage is being loaded.

Bags and Christmas presents for friends and family are being placed in overhead lockers.
