THE YELLOW SUBMARINE
In 1975 The Rhodesian Air Force operated an Alouette 3 helicopter in Mocambique around the Malvernia and Troposcater area in the "Russian Front".
This Alouette was painted the same colour Yellow as a similar helicopter which was flown by the Mocambiquans and was dubbed The Yellow submarine.
I know that JR Blythe Wood and Dick Paxton flew missions in this helicopter.
I would be grateful for more information on this helicopter and its role and basically anything that is of interest.
