The Rhodesian Veterans Association (Qld) inc. invites you to a free Talk by Author and Historian Geoffrey Alp on the topic of the two Viscount downings.
Much ink has been spilled on the Viscount losses incurred by Air Rhodesia toward the end of the war; We all know of the aftermath and repercussions, but a cloak-of-security was tightly maintained over the investigations and the public were never privy to the details – some contradictory and some controversial – all were kept highly confidential.
In this talk, Geoff discusses the cover-ups, and every bit of evidence, including documents obtained many years later, enabling you to draw your own conclusions as to whether they were shot down by a missile or sabotaged.
Geoff is an extremely knowledgeable Subject Expert and has a phenomenal collection of documentation and data to substantiate every fact that he uncovers.
