Lockerbie bombing series: Colin Firth spotted filming in Linlithgow and Glasgow for new Flight 103 series

The Lockerbie bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on December 21, 1988, when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people on board and six people on the ground. The attack was carried out by members of the Libyan intelligence agency, who planted a bomb in a suitcase that was then smuggled onto the plane.

Colin Firth is an English actor who has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including the popular James Bond series and the Oscar-winning film "The King's Speech." He is currently filming a new series about the Lockerbie disaster, which will be produced by BBC Two. The series is expected to explore the events leading up to the bombing, as well as the aftermath and its impact on the victims and their families.

Filming for the series is taking place in Linlithgow and Glasgow, two cities in central Scotland that were affected by the bombing. Linlithgow is the location of RAF Kinlossie, which was used as a military base during the Cold War and was one of the sites where the investigation into the bombing took place. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and was one of the main hubs for the relief effort following the bombing.

It is not clear when the series will be released or how long it will run, but it is expected to provide a detailed and nuanced look at one of the most significant events in modern history.
