I posted this on the "Aviation" area as well as here, hope soomeone will be able to answer.
I'm posting up a YouTube of a raid by the Rhodesian Air Force into neighboring Zambia in 1978. This raid was in retaliation for the shooting down of a Rhodesian civil ariliner and was lead by a Rhodesian identified only as "Green Leader." Not that it means anything after thirty years but does anyone know who this was or anything about this guy "Green Leader?"

If you are looking for the actual name of the pilot, I will try and dig it out of my files and PM you. I will check with some of the pilots who flew that mission and see if I can get his details.
As you say, it was a while ago.
