For those of us still around will remember this tragic event on 3 September 1978.
To John and friends: You will always be remembered Chris. |
Remember it only too well.
To all on that flight you will not be forgotten. Roger (ex Rhod Army Staff Corps) |

Knew one of the pax..BEA hostess from two flight who had lost her husband in a car crash. Ex ballet dancer. |
Yes very sad event indeed.
The "world" wanted these thugs in power and they got what they wanted. Did any stinking pigs of politions anywhere, ever put their hand up and say we backed the wrong horse? Did they f***. Not one did or ever will. |

The thuggery of shooting survivors is what makes this incident stand out. And the lack of condemnation from the 'civilised world', that Deafening Silence, is another thing that makes it stand out.

I would love to have been a "fly on the wall" with the arrival of Mugabe at flight level "heaven"..................:mad:

What would have been the altitude of the aircraft some 40 kms from Kariba?

Remember that it was not Mubage's thugs who shot these Viscounts down, it was Nkomo's thugs.

Remember that it was not Mubage's thugs who shot these Viscounts down, it was Nkomo's thugs Correct, Nkomo from the west and Mugabe from the east, the latter got the spoils of war, the world smiles, buried a hero........ cry my beloved country..... and the world for that matter. |
Retired pilot
