Jim Swire

Jim Swire (born 1936) is a British physician and retired general practitioner who is primarily known for his persistent advocacy and investigations into the Lockerbie bombing (Pan Am Flight 103) which occurred in 1988. He lost his daughter, Flora Swire, in the bombing.

Following the tragedy, Swire became a prominent figure in the victims' families, actively questioning the official narrative and seeking further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the bombing. He has been a vocal critic of the initial investigation and subsequent trials, expressing concerns about the reliability of evidence and potential miscarriages of justice.

Swire has collaborated with investigative journalists, lawyers, and other family members to pursue alternative theories and to challenge the conclusions reached by authorities. He has frequently appeared in documentaries and given interviews, presenting his research and perspectives on the bombing. He co-authored a book, "Lockerbie: The Truth," which details his investigation and challenges the accepted account of the event.

Swire's work has been characterized by a relentless pursuit of answers and a commitment to uncovering the truth about the Lockerbie bombing, even in the face of considerable opposition and controversy. His decades-long campaign has made him a well-known advocate for justice for the victims of the disaster.
