This interceptor Mirage was delivered in1966 and served with 75 Sqdn at Butterworth , Malaysia until late 1969, next going to 76 Sqdn at Williamtown for a few years and then 2OCU. Converted to a ground attack variant, it served time with 77 Sqdn before retirement in October 1987 with 4,015 hr on the airframe (initial expected design life was 1,500 hr) and was used as an apprentice training aid at RAAF Wagga Wagga before acquisition by HARS in 2015. Although still in potentially flyable condition, the intention is to return it to taxiing.
