Second Air Rhodesia Viscount Shot Down
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Rhodesia_Flight_827
Air Rhodesia Flight 827, the Umniati, was a scheduled flight between Kariba and Salisbury that was shot down on 12 February 1979 by Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) guerrillas using a Strela 2 missile soon after take-off. The circumstances were very similar to that of Air Rhodesia Flight 825 five months earlier. To date, it remains the deadliest aviation incident in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)
In memory of friends and family died: You will always be remembered.
