THE DEAFENING SILENCE
The downing of the Air Rhodesia Airliner - the Viscount "Hunyani"
From our series A Nation at War.
The downing of the Air Rhodesia Viscount Hunyani shook the nation. Using an anti-aircraft rocket, ZPRA forces shot down the aircraft shortly after it took off from Kariba. The pilot managed to land the aircraft, but several lives were lost.
There were a number of survivors to the crash, most of whom were then shot by ZPRA terrorists.
There was no outrage from the world, no sympathy - just a Deafening Silence; a term that found it's place in the country's History after the sermon of Dean John Da Costa at the memorial service held shortly afterwards.
Retaliation was quick and decisive. Strikes deep into Zambia killed hundreds of ZPRA terrorists in their camps, whilst the Air Force's "Green Leader" shut down Zambian airspace.
The DVD & CD combo contains The Deafening Silence Sermon, the Raids into Zambia, an Interview with a survivor, the Green Leader audio, copies of The Herald and Scope Magazine.
The length of this DVD is approx. 20 minutes all told. The length of the Audio CD is approx. 38 mins.
Digitally enhanced from the original 16mm film & VHS.
