Rhodesian Bush War - Operation Gatling (1978) - Green Leader

This video is my attempt at recreating the iconic bombing sequence at Westlands farm, by RhAF Canberra Bombers, Led by Squadron Leader Chris Dixon, who identified himself to Lusaka Airport tower as the famous “Green Leader“ callsign. Now because there is no existing historical footage of the operation itself (that I know of), I was only able to use footage that is available on the internet. After searching around, I stumbled across this video: Rhodesian Air Force: Winged Assegais. From this channel: (Hence, why there is a watermark on the top left corner of the video from the original video). Although the Canberra bomber footage from Rhodesian Air Force: Winged Assegais; is not related to the original operation. But after editing the footage and fitting the pieces together along with the radio chatter from the actual Operation Gatling, with the addition of the soundtrack. I managed to create this.
