Legacy Conversations – Guests – Wing Commander "Prop" Preller Geldenhuys, Rhodesian Air Force (Ret)

Email for “Prop” Preller Geldenhuys - [email protected] We speak to Wing Commander Prop Preller Geldenhuys, Rhodesian Air Force, Retired. Now living in New Zealand, WinCo flew combat operations for almost 20 years before retiring in 1982. An absolutely fascinating conversation with a man that flew the Hunters, Vampires, and Canberras right through the Rhodesian Bush War where many South African units were secretly involved. After leaving the jet squadrons he flew the Lynx and Trojan in combat. His aircraft was hit three times on different occasions.

He tells us of a secret smuggling operation from South Africa to Rhodesia (Vampires, Ops Hottentot). Ops Nickel Cross, where he received the “Nickel Cross” from the Rhodesian African Rifles and many more. If you have questions for the Wing Commander, please leave them below.
