          Part of The Honourable Iona Campagnolo fonds

          Using an anti-aircraft rocket, ZPRA forces shot down the aircraft Air Viscount Hunyani shortly after it took off from Kariba, Rhodesia. The pilot managed to land the aircraft, but many people died in the crash. There were 18 survivors who were shot by ZPRA terrorists while awaiting rescue. There was no outrage from the world, no sympathy--just a “deafening silence”; this term found its place in Rhodesian history after the sermon of Dean John da Costa at the memorial service held shortly afterwards. This is an audio recording of that sermon.
