Feraday began his examinations after the crash of PanAm 103 on the 28th of Dezember 1989 in order of RARDE (Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment, United Kingdom).
Allen Feraday is the same crook as FBI forensic expert Thomas Thurman: To both a sheer "possibility" was put in front of and the added willingly the needed proofs.
Section 6 in the RARDE Report 181, "Concealment of IED Radio" sides 106-107 show, that the belatedly indentified Toshiba radio-fragment Prod. AG/145 was allegedly found midth of January 1989 in the container AVE 4041 PA from the debrits of Boeing 747 by Crown investigators - and was brought to RARDE for forensic examinations on the 17th of Januar 1989 (Section 6.2.1).
With this fragment (green circuitboard) AG/145 of a Toshiba radio-cassette player Feraday visited from the 23th to the 25th of January 1989 the Federal Office for Criminal Investigations (BKA) in Wiesbaden, West Germany to examine whether the fragment did originate from a Toshiba "RT-F453F" radiorecorder.
The BKA had seized four of five such radios, modified as "improvised explosive device" (IED) in an action against terrorists in Oktober 1988 in Neuss, Germany. These IED-Radiorecorder were modified (not with a MST-13 Timer) but with an "altimeter incorporated along with a so-called electronic timer, sometimes called an ice-cube timer, coupled of course with detonator and explosive material".
the fifth IED-Radiorecorder Toshiba RT-F453F remained untraceable ...
After a visit to the Toshiba UK Headquarters at Camberley, Surrey (2nd of February 1989) and having searched 130 internal data sheets Feraday found out that the fragment originated from a different Toshiba radiorecorder of the type RT-8016'SF16.
Notabene: This Radio RT-8016'SF16 had been delivered to several Toshiba representations in Germany, Switzerland, Libya, Libanon and the USA.
(Did he chose deliberately a radio brand that was also sold to Libya?)
Subsequently a visit was made to the headquarters of the Toshiba company in Japan, between the 23rd of April 1989 and the 1st of May 1989.
After his visit in Japan Feraday found out that the fragment AG/145 definititely originated from a Toshiba radiorecorder type RT-8016'SF16 "BomBeat".
Feraday brought with him several radiorecorders of the same typ and used some of them for exlosive tests in the USA to get "samples" ...
On the 30th of June 1989, some paper fragments with the letters "HIBA" were allegedly found. This piece of a paper fragment originated from an instruction manual of a TOSHIBA radio-cassette player type RT-8016'SF16 (production PK-689, photograph 266).
At the trial in Kamp van Zeist Feraday explainded after beeing questioned on that subject:
Q- Is that the correct date? Antwort Feraday,
A- I'm afraid. It's a mistake that I made when I wrote the reports. And I think the correct date is the 11th of May 1989. And the error arises on my part because sometimes items would come and go to the laboratory several times. They would be booked in and out several times.
Q- And the examination bears the date 16th May 1989?
A- That's correct, yes, sir, yes.-----
Q- I see. And how then -- now that we've seen that the item could move in and out of RARDE on a number of occasions for a number of reasons, and that there would be a record kept of the date, both of its arrival and its departure, how can you help us to understand why the date 30th of June 1989 is given on page 107?
A- Well, I'm afraid that when I logged the whole list of comings and goings of items down when I wrote this report, I must have put my ruler across on the wrong line for this. I didn't, obviously, go back to the beginning of when we first received it. I must have inadvertently picked a date when it did certaily come back after some treatment of some description on the 30th of June 1989. But the truth is that we had received it before that. That wasn't the first time we received it.
The Toshiba fragment AG/145 in possession of Feraday since the 17th of January 1989 was depictured on the photos no. 245 (front) und No. 246 (back). On photo 245 the green circuitboard AG/145 was depictured with white printed letters and numbers on the fragment still visible: ..101' and L106'.
1.> These letters and characters would not appear in white colour after an explosion.
2.> The circuitboard, AG/145 and the MST-13 Fragment PT-35 were never examined for residues of explosives!!!
Replacement of the fragment AG/145 by a MST-13 timer fragment:
Page 127 of the report no. 181, Section 7, headed "Mechanism of the Improvised Explosive Device". Introduction: Several small fragments of various materials were recovered from part of a severely damaged grey-coloured "Slalom" brand shirt (item PI/995 described in Section 5.1.3)
These fragments included many small pieces of paper which originated from the owner's instruction manual for the Toshiba RT-8016-SF16 radio (item PT/2 described in Section 6.2.2.), together with other small fragments apparently originating from the radio itself (it. PT/35(a); PT/35(b); PT/35(c), described in Section 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 respectively. Amongst these radio fragments recovered from the grey T-shirt was a single fragment of a green coloured printed circuit board, designated as item PT/35(b).
On the 12th of May 1989 these above mentioned items from the damaged "Slalom" T-shirt were photographed by RARDE, (picture PI/995). Under designation PT/35(b) "a fragment of a green coloured circuit board" was depictured and marked by a red circle.
This fragment initially showed the fragment AG/145 originating from a (IED)-Toshiba Radiorecorder RT-8016-SF16.
With greatest probability the anyway faked photo no. 273 (PI/995) was manipulated again, showing now a brown MST-13 timer fragment with the letter "M" scratched in (fabricated from U. Lumpert's third prototype) instead of the fragment AG/145 at the place marked with a red circle.
Bollier/MEBO expertise: Technical-chemical specifications
The "Toshiba-fragment" was allegedly found by a Crown investigator and brought to RARDE on the 17th of January 1989. Text on the official AAIB report, page no. 50:
While this work was in progress a buckled section of skin from container 4041 was found by an AAIB Inspector to contain, trapped within its fols, an item which was subsequently identified by forensic scientist at the Royal Armaments Resarch and Developement Establishment (RARDE) as belonging to a specific type of radio-cassette player and that this had been fitted with an imrovised explosive device.
The partly burned breaking points of the fragments (AG/145) beside the designations "L'106--101" can not have occured by explosion:
1.) An expolision happens in microseconds, which would have catapulted the fragment into the piece of sheet metal which allegedly through its being curved stopped the fragment.
2.) Looked at under a microscop the enlarged breaking points of the fragment AG/145 show forensically seen doubtlessly that the fragment was presumably with a pair of tongue broken out of the Toshiba Radio-carrier platine and that some burning points had been added deliberately in a way that the white printed marks remained clearly visible and readable.
Normal points of fire at the hardly inflammable fiberglass material of the tiny fragement would have defintitely damaged the white printed designations ("L'106--101").
Lockerbie, 29th of April 1991
Meeting at the Lockerbie Incident Control Centre (LICC) with Swiss police Inspector Knaus and Swiss police officer Peter Flückiger, FBI Special Agent Richard A. Marquise (US Lockerbie task force), Tom Jourdan FBI, Inspector William Williamson (the Scottish officer who had been involved in the Swiss aspects of the investigation), Jim Gilchrist, Stuart Henderson (SIO-Officer) and Mr. "Hurrix" the British MI-6 representative.
Inspector Williamson presented on that meeting a fax (dated 12th of January 1990) from Allen Feraday (RARDE) about items he had found blasted into the collar of a T-shirt (brand: "Slalom"):
In addition to pieces of black plastic some wire and a piece of the instruction manual from a Toshiba radio cassette player RT-SF16 were allegedly discovered. The most significant item was a fingernail size chip, green in color, with solder for a circuit on one side only. This chip became known as PT-35, a designation given to it by the Scottish Police. The fragment AG/145 had also solder only one side.
The memorandum (prod. no. 333) written by Allen Feraday to Insp. William Williamson on the 15th of September 1989 stands in oppositon to this fax. This date was dated back by Allen Feraday! (the correct date is the 15th of September 1990)
Why did Insp. Williamson show on the 29th of April 1991 the fax (dated 12th of January 1990) and not the memorandum No. 333?
Answer: First of all, because the date of the memorandum was falified; secondly because the fax (dated 12th of January 1990) had to give a more exact description of the green circuit board fragment by stating that only one side of the circuit board showed soldering traces. Such it could distract from the Toshiba radio fragment AG/145.
Further on this fax shows that the name PT-35 was used for all 4 pieces of dicovery a) b) c) d) only from January 1990 on..
To document belatedly this new piece of evidence (see page 50 of Hayes report that had described an allegedly discovered radio cassette player fragment fitted with an IED = AG/145) side 51 in Hayes' "examinations draft report" with the falsified date (12th of May 1989) was an empty torn out page, newly written that was added to Dr. Hayes "examinations draft report" after page 50 and the original pagination no. 51-56 was overwritten by the wrong pagination 52-57.
After this " Instruction Meeting" on the 29th of April 1991 in Lockerbie it was definitiely clear that Libya had to be incriminated for the attack on PanAm103.
The next morning, on the 30th of April 1991 Mr. Henderson, the two Swiss officers and Richard A. Marquise flew to London and took a train to RARDE to meet Allen Feraday and an his associate, Maurice Marshall.
Allen Feraday had decided to personally examine all the evidence in the case. Feraday brought with him the piece of evidence PT-35. This was a green circuit-board fragment, not splitted in two parts (PT-35(b) and DP-31(a) which led to the identification of MEBO as the source of the timers subsequently traced to Libya.
Notabene: The original brown MST-13 Pc-board was splitted in two parts by the company Siemens AG on the 27th of April 1990.
The two Swiss police officers were convinced. This was important and after all the purpose of their invitation. After being at RARDE the two Swiss officers headed for downtown London and had a meeting with the British Security Service (BSS) for a coordinated final report focusing on MEBO's MST-13 timers and Libya...
MEBO's inquiries in the Lockerbie-Affair have brought to light up to now 94 punishable acts for prosecution such as technical manipulations of evidence, forgery of documents, instigation for criminal machinations and wrong testimony.
The "Lockerbie-fraud" is not only the biggest crime in the modern history of The UK but will also be followed up by furher investigations under the patronage of the UN, EU, AU and the Arab League.
