Well, Rowland sure knew how to hold a grudge. It continues from the grave.
I wonder why he funded the Maltese Double Cross movie? The one about Lockerbie. It didn't get much of a run at the cinemas or TV so I can't imagine that he got a good return on his money. Which is so unlike him.
He is also not one that I remember being terribly active in the anti-apartheid movement but he is given South Africa's highest honor, the Order of Good Hope from Nelson Mandela in 1996.
On the other hand a not very well known fact about Lockerbie is that the 28 member South African delegation that was due to travel on the Pan Am Lockerbie flight cancelled at the last minute. Mmmmm.....
Which of course brings us back to Oswald Le Winter. Such a small world.
