class="BoxOutLeftHomePageLarge"> <img id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_MikeShortImage" src="../images/Photos_Other_Medium/MikeShortAirRhodesiaNEW.jpg" alt="Michael Short 'Deafening Silence' painting" style="border-width:0px;" /><br /><br /> 'Deafening Silence' - Michael Short </div> <h1>'Deafening Silence'</h1> <h2>The lack of international disapproval</h2> <p><br /> Michael Short is an aviation artist born in what was then Rhodesia. For many years he has painted on the whole WW2 topics but has recently decided to focus on Rhodesian subjects. </p> <p> His first Rhodesian subject depicts one of his favourite aeroplanes, the Viscount. The aircraft in the painting is VP-WAS that was named 'Hunyani' the first of 2 Viscounts shot down during the troubles of the late 1970s. </p> <p> On 3 September 1978 Air Rhodesia Viscount 'Hunyani' took off from Kariba Airport, Rhodesia on scheduled flight RH825 to Salisbury, Rhodesia at 17:10. Shortly after take-off, the starboard wing was hit by a SAM-7 Strella missile. </p> <p> An emergency descent was carried out and the crew tried to make a landing in a large clearing in the bush in the Whamira Hills, near Karoi, 16km from the southern shores of Lake Kariba. The aircraft crash-landed, striking an irrigation ditch, cart-wheeled, broke up and caught fire. All 4 crew and 34 of the 52 passengers died in the crash. </p> <p> Fighters from Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe Peoples Revolution Army (ZIPRA) were responsible for shooting down the aircraft and later killed 10 of the 18 survivors. The remaining 8 survivors were rescued the next day. </p><br /> <h2>The Viscount Memorial</h2> <p> On 2 September 2012 a memorial dedicated to all those killed on this aircraft and also those who were killed during the second attack to VP-YND was unveiled in the gardens of the South African Voortrekker Monument at Pretoria, South Africa and then consecrated. A number of family members laid wreaths around the base of the two granite plaques which has rolls of honour listing all the names of those who sadly lost their lives. </p> <p> There are still strong feelings amongst the Rhodesian communities relating to these atrocities and a general consensus of opinion that the then free-world did little to acknowledge or condemn the actions taken by the rebels. At long last there is a fitting tribute to the innocent victims of these events that occurred over thirty years ago. Long may we remember them. </p><br /> <h2>'Deafening Silence'</h2> <p> Mike chose the name of the painting to be 'Deafening Silence' as it is a reference to a comment made by the then Dean of the Anglican Cathedral in Salisbury during the memorial service in response to the lack of international disapproval to the downing of the Viscount. </p> <p> The print is limited to 107 giclée canvas prints (there were 107 victims total in the loss of the two aircraft) and 400 paper prints. </p> <p> Giclée canvas print (unstretched), edition size 107, image size: 16” x 24” US$85 </p> <p> Paper print: 100% cotton rag, heavy weight and acid free, edition size 400, image size 12” x 18”, paper size 17” x 22” US$60 </p> <p> Handling (packaging) US$4 + shipping which will vary according to destination. </p> <p> Examples of shipping costs:<br />to the UK usually works out to about US$16.75<br /> to Australia US$16.75<br /> to the United Stated about US$6<br />to South Africa US$16.25 </p><br /> <p> <a href="mailto:viscountprint@gmail.com?subject=Information about your painting 'Deafening Silence' - message via the Vickers Viscount Network" title="Email Mike Short"><img id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_Image37" src="../images/Photos_Other_Small/VVN%20Button%20Logo.gif" style="border-width:0px;" />Click here to email Mike Short - viscountprint@gmail.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/AircraftHistories/cn101.aspx"><img id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_Image2" src="../images/Photos_Other_Small/VVN%20Button%20Logo.gif" style="border-width:0px;" />History and photos of Viscount c/n 101 VP-YND</a><br /> <a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/AircraftHistories/cn297.aspx"><img id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_Image1" src="../images/Photos_Other_Small/VVN%20Button%20Logo.gif" style="border-width:0px;" />History and photos of Viscount c/n 297 VP-WAS</a><br /> <a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_History/Viscount%20Down.aspx"><img id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_Image3" src="../images/Photos_Other_Small/VVN%20Button%20Logo.gif" style="border-width:0px;" />'Viscount Down' a review of Keith Nell's book about these tragic events</a> </p> <br /><br /> </div> <div class="separator"></div> <div id="footermenuwrapper"> <ul class="nav"> <li class="current"><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Default.aspx">Home</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Photos/PhotosLatest50i.aspx"><span id="ctl00_Latest60Label2">Latest 60 of 13226 photos</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/RandomPhotoLink.aspx">Slide show</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Live%20Magazine.aspx">Live Magazine</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/ContactUs.aspx">Contact us</a></li> </ul> <ul class="nav"> <li><a>Records</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Links/Links.aspx">Viscount Survivors</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Listings/ListingsAircraftHistories.aspx">Aircraft operational records</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Listings/Listings_Owner1.aspx">Owner/operator fleet records</a></li> <li><a>Production list</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Listings/ListingsProductionbycn.aspx">By construction number</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Listings/ListingsProductionbyDate.aspx">By date of first flight</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Listings/Listings.aspx">Registrations issued by country</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Listings/ListingsHelp.aspx">Help identify these Viscounts</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a>Photos</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Photos/Photos_CNGallery1.aspx">By construction number or registration</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Photos/PhotosOwnerGallery1.aspx">By owner or operator</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Photos/Photos.aspx">By contributor</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Film/F-1950-07-29.aspx">Viscount film and video</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Photos/PhotosLatest50i.aspx">Latest 60 Viscount photos</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/RandomPhotoLink.aspx">Travel back in time with the Viscount</a></li> <li><a>Viscount film by Andy Lambert</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Film/Andy Lambert G-APIM comes home.aspx">Viscount Stephen Piercey comes home to Brooklands</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Film/Andy Lambert 40th anniversary flight to Duxford.aspx">The world’s first turbo prop airline service 40th anniversary</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Film/Andy Lambert Viscount flight to Basel Mulhouse.aspx">Fund raising Viscount flight to Basel-Mulhouse, France</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_Film/BBC - Jet!
