Green Leader (Troopie songs)
Музыка
There was once a classic air raid on a terrorist base in Zambia; it was called “Operation Gatling” it was a reprisal attack to avenge the shooting down of two of Rhodesia’s civilian airliners. I wrote this song for the pilots, crews and commanders of the operation. (thanks to the Rhodesian Air Force for permission to use the “live” cockpit recordings).

Rhodesia looks so nice naturewise! (Greener than I thought...)

John Edmond your songs make me so sad , for Rhodesia and Keith and Angie Meadows. I believe they were both good friends of yours. It was a shock to learn that Keith died of a massive heart attack in Afghanistan

Yes. That has happened to me too, more than once. It saddens me that my own country was on the wrong side of history in this case (too). The fall of Rhodesia is a disgrace to the entire West, as several generations here failed to pay attention to their true interests. My heart cries for Rhodesia and the loss of so many great men. A similar fate seems to await us in Europe and possibly the US as well, unless we start learning our lesson and change course.
Pleased to have been of service. What a beautiful country we had.

I love John Edmonds music. I love Rhodesian history. The photography was splendid. Furthermore I appreciate the introduction by John Edmond. You might be interested to know I am an American who has never been to Africa.

You should go, it's an amazing place. I lived in South Africa when I was younger and spent time in Rhodesia which was an incredible little country sad that is was just a pawn in the worlds politics
This makes me a proud Rhodie ❤❤😅
The radio chatter can be interpreted as follows: Green Leader: If you don't comply, we will blow you into oblivion. How copy? Lusaka Tower: We copy Green Leader: Cheers mate
Now you’ve got power outages 18 hours a day 😂
