The year-old said the hairs on the back of his neck still stand up when he thinks about some of the things he found when going through the wreckage — including a tape player with this voice of an American victim. As part of his role in the aftermath Ian delivered belongings back to families.

Ian spent Christmas Day after the first anniversary with Betty Thomas, mother of victim Yvonne Owen, 29, and grandmother to Bryony, aged 20 months. Yvonne's boyfriend Seth — who she was visiting in Boston when the plane blew up — had come to stay and Ian offered them a meal.

Another officer, Colin Dorrance only found out this year the identity of Bryony Owen, Betty's granddaughter. She had fallen from the sky outside the town and a farmer drove her body down to a makeshift mortuary on the front seat of his tractor. Mr Dorrance said it looked as if she was just sleeping.

A day after the bomb went off, in December , the scene of devastation caused by the explosion was pictured. Homes in Lockerbie were completely destroyed by the explosion while eleven people died in their houses on December Homes in Sherwood Crescent were wiped out by the plane as it broke up in the air and pieces came hurtling down on homes.

A giant crater was left in the road at number 13 Sherwood Crescent. The wing section of the airliner, and its load of 30, gallons of fuel, hit the house, killing 11 residents of the town. There is now a memorial area where number 13 used to stand at the bottom of the crescent while some of the rest of the street has been rebuilt. Search parties roamed the nearby fields in search of anyone who may have survived the attack.

One man has described how they mainly found body parts. Remains of the aircraft came tumbling down onto Lockerbie when the bomb went off mid-air as the flight began the London leg.

The UN lifts sanctions on Libya. Blame was accepted in Tripoli and the government compensates families of the victims. A review of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's conviction for the bombing is to be carried out by the Scottish Criminal Cases Commission.

He did not find out the identity of the youngster as the full scale of the tragedy unfolded that night and felt that prying into the details later in his career would be unprofessional. But Mr Dorrance, now 48 and retired from the police, discovered last week that the baby was actually Bryony Owen, a little girl who was on board Pan Am flight with her mother Yvonne.

The pair were buried together. Lorry driver Mark Herridge recalled how the search parties rushed to the scene to try and fund survivors — including himself and his brother-in-law Brian Mawson, just 21 and 20 at the time. The men from Brydekirk hitched a lift to Lockerbie nine miles away to help look around Tundergarth.

We were hoping against hope to find someone alive, but within a mile of walking we knew there were none. By then we were no longer finding whole people. Mr Herridge's search party found the body of three-year-old Sur-uchi Rattan who died along with mother Garima Rattan, and brother Anmol, two. She was found on a hedge about eight miles from the cockpit of the He said: 'I could see it was a child straight away, a little girl in a red outfit and I had to look away.

I had a month-old son at home. Even although it had smashed down on its side it was huge. They just looked like shop dummies. They didn't have a mark on them. It seemed surreal. All people on board the plane, which was travelling from London to New York, were killed, along with 11 others on the ground.

Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was the only person to have been convicted of the bombing. Megrahi, who was released from jail by the Scottish government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, died last year still protesting his innocence. British investigators have been working to establish if there were other individuals in Libya who could be brought to trial for their involvement in the attack.

The Crown Office said that as the investigation into the Lockerbie bombing remained live, it would not comment further on the relocation of the wreckage from Farnborough to Scotland. Investigators painstakingly reconstructed a large part of the aircraft's fuselage wreckage which was recovered from a huge area following the crash. At first they were collected in Longtown, over the border from Lockerbie in Cumbria, but later were put together on a massive frame at the AAIB facility in Hampshire.
