Of Valour, Viscounts & Vengeance<\/strong>
\nThis fair should be very interesting with many stalls to visit, not to mention the war museum itself!
\nThis new double C.D. commemorates the Rhodesian journey from September 1890 – 1980 and the Viscount disasters of 1978 and 1979. On this collection you can hear John’s new powerful song “The Deafening Silence” together with a new version of ‘You ain’t no hero” PLUS the (live) cockpit recording (with script, commentary and booklet) of the Green Leader Raid on the terrorist base at Westlands farm in Zambia. This latter event has been written about in many books and is embodied on some primitive cassette tape recordings scattered around the world…
