Sqn Ldr Chris Dixon (Green Leader)- RIP
Just got an email saying that Squadron Leader Chris Dixon, the famed "Green Leader" of the raid by the Rhodesian Air Force on Westlands Farm in Zambia, died in Harare on Friday 21 October. He had been suffering from cancer for some time.

'Green Leader' Raid on Rebel Camps in Zambia - YouTubeWarning: Strong Language
Recording from the cockpit of the leading Rhodesian Air Force Canberra bomber during a retaliatory external raid by Rhodesian Forces on the ZIPRA camp at Westlands Farm near Lusaka, Zambia, October 19, 1978.
The strike force consisted of Green Section (Canberras), Red, White and Blue Sections (Hawker Hunter fighter jets) and a number of K-Car (Allouette helicopter) gun-ships.
I have the whole 22 minute tape in mp3 format I will upload it sometime.
I didn't know Chris but some of my Rhodie/Zimbo mates did and he was by all accounts a hell of a guy.Last edited by baboon6; 22-10-2011 at 16:46.
