They were Men Among Men. Lion-Hearts. 👏🏻👏🏻💯💯 As a Zimbabwean/Rhodesian Wildlife Conservationist of British stock, I'm proud of this country and her amazing wildlife. Proud of our heritage. Proud of my countrymen for their lion-heartedness and courage. Proud of our traditional British virtues, values and morals. Our generosity, kindness and respect. Grateful to be born here in Africa to protect and serve the wildlife of this country. I thank God for this life I have been given. For being born a Rhodesian/Zimbabwean.
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
@@onkelwonkel229 yeah Rhodesia fell and there was a Zimbabwe-Rhodesia but it became Zimbabwe because they had to have majority rule and voting stuff but Robert Mugabe won so he basically removed Rhodesia and now its Zimbabwe
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.
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
White people built such an incredible civilization❤ with a stable currency, a thriving economy, plenty of industry and agriculture, railroads airport schools, hospitals, universities streets, plenty of electricity with air conditioning, clean, running water, fully stocked store shelves, plenty of petrol at all the filling stations no trash on the streets, no graffiti on the buildings and then suddenly everything crumbled. I wonder what happened.
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
Green Leader : If you fight back we will end your entire existence, copy ? .... Terr : ...........roger that... Green Leader : ok cheers ! 😁 EPIC video !!!
@@thesmithersy yea I picked up on that, I guess I thought the Zambians were considering colluding with or helping the terr’s. Apologies to the Zambian AF !

Sir. Please leave the braai and the rugby. That is a waste of human talent. Your sons have not given up on a future just yet. Boer and Brit in the ZAR are far from a spent force. We shall rather perish than become their slaves. Cheers

Fantastic. Heads up👣👣👍
Rhodesia looks so nice naturewise! (Greener than I thought...)
It's a paradise. Rich soil. Gift from earth demolished by greed.
Rhodesia❤
southern africa is all jungles central and northern are dessert and plains
Southern Africa is amazing
Good rains too this past season

Indeed his passing was a shock and great loss as he was a fantastic author!
@@JohnEdmondMusic Love your Music, some day i will visit Rhodesia

@@JustAnotherNorthman Only one difference - the US and Europe won't fight back.
“Roger, thanks. Cheers “
To think that within a few years the last of these amazing people will be gone. RHODESIANS never die they just faded away.......
Mate, white Zimbabweans/Rhodesians still live in this country. 55 000 of us. We will never die.
Lusaka Tower this IS Green Leader ✈️✈️❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pleased to have been of service. What a beautiful country we had.
My Dad and uncle.......
We did
Once a Rhodesian, always a Rhodesian.
Ahmen
Once you're a Rhodesian no other land will do
For me hwaker hunter aircraft is one of the best jet aircraft ever made by Britain
Think you might be right.

A good summary of the situation
Will always have great respect for you Rhodesians.
God Bless ✝
Thank you for this great song, I wish I lived during Rhodesias glory days so I could visit this beautiful country.
This makes me a proud Rhodie ❤❤😅

Israel stood with Rhodesia, at all costs Israel must not fail to world pressure 🇮🇱🇿🇦
I agree with you. My dad's family are Springboks and some have fought in Rhodie regiments. Boss and Mossad helped each other out.
Israel opposed Apartheid until 1970's
I AGREE my grandfather was RLI during the Bush war and my uncle was BSAP
They hated us
@@KonradvonHotzendorfIsrael supported Rhodesia from 1967 onwards.
Was that a voodoo?

"Roger. Thanks. Cheers." Now, that is good English.
Indeed it is. The pilots all had good training in English!
@@JohnEdmondMusic
All I meant was that, in three short words, the pilot was able to convey an entirety of meaning. In addition, it was all so English.
Iron up baby
Do you copy?
I stand with Israel as I am a proud Rhodesia all the way
Sad to see you identify just end.. Different days..
