OT....but the Mirage in question was one of the dual seaters. The bloke in the back seat at the time was a navy pilot, who had orginally been posted to the A-4, but when the government decided to can them, he was amongst the group that moved to the RAAF. I don't know whether he ever flew the Mirage, but he did fly the F18.The B52s and their refueller aircraft KC135s (I think) were regular visitors to Darwin in the mid 1980s, hence a B52 was donated to the museum. Also of interest was a 75 squadron Mirage fighter that was recovered many years later after flaming out circa 1985, just prior to FA18s came to Darwin
