I did suggest Morag Kerr's book might be dismissed as well-timed Zionist propaganda!bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338162927520376063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-33438173152442682112014-01-08T12:35:14.326+00:002014-01-08T12:35:14.326+00:00I worked with Chris for about four hours on the th...I worked with Chris for about four hours on the third part of that documentary. He came to my house with a cameraman, and shot and shot until he believed he could get the perfect sequence from the material on these memory cards. We only stopped for about 15 minutes for tea and biscuits when I thought I was about to dehydrate.<br /><br />I don't know about the rest of the material he had, but the sequence we did has got to be the best explanation of the Heathrow loading that exists at the moment. I printed out some flash cards of the most important evidential pictures, and was able to use them to explain visually what went where and why certain bits of charring and blast damage wee so important. He also spoke about having an animation created of what I explained to him. I don't know if he did, and if he did I have never seen it, but a good animation of this could be absolutely key to getting across what actually happened.<br /><br />I had no idea at the time that he was fighting cancer. When the director called me from California just before Christmas to tell me he'd been taken to hospital and had only a week or two to live, I was profoundly shocked. He died the day after the Lockerbie anniversary. The second day scheduled for broadcasting the finished film, the second date that was cancelled.<br /><br />I hope Aljazeera will show that documentary, for the sake of Chris's memory if nothing else.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.com
