OPERATION DINGO
The Raids on Chimoio and Tembue

On 23 November 1977, the Air Force and 184 SAS and RLI paratroopers attacked 10,000 ZANLA cadres based at 'New Farm', Chimoio, 90 kilometers inside Mozambique. Two days later, the same force attacked 4,000 guerrillas at Tembue, another ZANLA base, over 200 kilometers inside Mozambique, north of Tete on the Zambezi River. Estimates of ZANLA losses vary wildly; however, a figure exceeding 6,000 casualties is realistic. The attackers suffered two dead, eight wounded and lost one aircraft. It would produce the biggest SAS-led external battle of the Rhodesian bush war.

This specially compiled DVD includes rare footage produced by ZANLA as well as interviews with the late Air Marshall Norman Walsh, the planner of the raid and Assistant Commissioner Mike Edden, head of the Special Branch unit responsible for the intelligence gathering. Also includes the film on Chimoio 2 raid in 1978.

Approx. 1 hour running time.
