Photo Comment
Captured inside the Air Zimbabwe maintenance hangars in the dry season of 1981. VP-YNH carries the livery Air Zimbabwe inherited from Air Rhodesia. This colour scheme was introduced when the Boeing 720s were hurried into Air Rhodesia service in 1973. It is basically the colours of German Calair with the red "twiggi bird" (a very stylized version of the Zimbabwe bird) applied on the tail.
