Julian Bray is an author, journalist and presenter who started with the BBC, moving to commercial radio and television networks in the UK and Europe. He is an expert on aviation safety and airline operations, frequently lecturing, writing and advising international corporations.[1]
On 4 November 2015, the Daily Mirror reported that Julian Bray's “Lockerbie theory” is now thought to be the most likely explanation for the Metrojet disaster. Bray believes a bomb was hidden in luggage, the same way terrorists brought down Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland in 1988. He said:
- “I think it was an explosive device on board, something that was loaded into the luggage. If it was an incendiary device and it went off, it might have burst through part of the computer system. That could account for erratic movements in the air before Metrojet 9268 finally crashed.”[2]

He edited the international edition of the airlines safety and operations service manual, and handled air major incidents and victim support. He has advised several Governments on rescue and recovery strategies, and acted as an independent facilitator between organisations and the world media. He is well known as a expert witness and media commentator.[3]
