A3-21 (cn 21) Photo taken by my father, Peter Eyre. Nice line-up of Mirage tails of 75 Sqn, based at RAAF Darwin,NT. Left to right: A3-21, A3-73, A3-24, A3-33, A3-9, A3-96, A3-6. 75 Sqn was last in the RAAF to operate the Mirage III (until Sep 1988), as 3 Sqn had already converted to F/A-18A and 77 Sqn was in process of converting. 79 Sqn in Butterworth, Malaysia was also still flying the Mirage III, but only until 4.88. These aircraft all later went to the Pakistan Air Force, and are believed to still be in service. |
