Colin Firth spotted filming Lockerbie bombing drama in Glasgow

We previously reported filming for the series from Carnival Films and Sky Studios, believed to be called Flight 103, will be taking place in Glasgow. 

On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103, which was travelling from London to New York, exploded over Lockerbie killing all 259 passengers and crew and 11 of the town's residents.

Former Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi is so far the only person who has been convicted in relation to the bombing after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in 2001.

The new drama is told from the perspective of Jim and Jane Swire who lost their daughter Flora in the atrocity which took place on the eve of her 24th birthday. 

The five-part series is based on Jim's 2021 book The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father's Search for Justice with the retired GP being portrayed by Oscar winner Colin Firth.

A number of classic cars have also been parked on the street.

A series of roads will close in the city centre and East End next week to accommodate for filming of Flight 103, which is expected to air next year. 

It is understood another series from BBC and Netflix based on the Lockerbie bombing is also in the works.
