Email from Cormac Boomer to Antony Barnett re: R Shayler
I have followed your very interesting reports of Mr. Shaylers activities, and note that he claims to have been on the Libyan desk in 1995,could you enquire if he has any information relating to the Piper Lance 32 Reg 9H-ABU which mysteriously disappeared on a flight from Djerba Tunisia to Malta in the early morning of Sunday the 3rd December 1995. My son Desmond and Englishman Michael Williams and four others were reported to have been passengers on that plane, no bodies or wreckage have as yet been found. At the time of the reported disappearance an eight day five nation sea search was carried out, absolutely nothing found. My information from a UK military source states the plane and passengers were flown to Libya

A friend of Phillip Farrugia passed on this information. He told me that Phillip Farrugia was a nice quiet guy who worked for IDC company in Libya on Rig 39 in 1980/1 and had actually survived a desert well blowout.
