In April 1973 three Boeing 720s made their way to Rhodesia, circumventing the UN sanctions against the country. VP-YNM was one of these aircraft seen here at Salisbury a few months after arriving with sisterships YNL and YNN after Air Rhodesia clandestinely acquired three of Calair's five 720s. It started its service life with Eastern Air Lines in August 1961. In December 1970 it joined the fleet of short-lived German charter airline Calair.

As the Rhodesian Bush War was in its final phases, the name of the country was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia in June 1979. Air Rhodesia changed its name to Air Zimbabwe Rhodesia still in Air Rhodesia's low visibility, anti-missile colour scheme with a dull green cheat line. This was changed back to blue, white and polished metal when the airline was renamed to Air Zimbabwe the following year.

As the Rhodesian Bush War was in its final phases, the name of the country was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia in June 1979. Air Rhodesia changed its name to Air Zimbabwe Rhodesia still in Air Rhodesia's low visibility, anti-missile colour scheme with a dull green cheat line. This was changed back to blue, white and polished metal when the airline was renamed to Air Zimbabwe the following year.

Seen at Bulawayo Airport a little over a year after sister ship VP-WAS Hunyani was shot down by a heat-seeking missile on depature from Kariba operating RH825 on 3 September 1978. Following the second shoot down of an Air Rhodesia Viscount, VP-YND Umniati, on 12 February 1979, the airline painted their Viscounts in a drab grey anti-missile colour scheme and added exhaust deflectors to minimize the heat signature of the engine exhaust.
