Default It's Nice Here ..... Mirage IIIO at RAAF Museum - Pt Cook 13

Definitely. The museum at Parafield is the closest one to me, next
time I'm down that way I can get whatever you want. My
father (the chubby guy at left of the Bloodhound's tail) is
visiting me in March and we traditionally do the museum tour.


Incidentally, the Parafield Mirage is the one that landed wheels-up
at Tullamarine in 1974, using the drop tanks for undercarriage. While
the plane didn't look too bad (considering) the RAAF wrote it
off anyway. It was restored a couple of years ago, the elvons look
absolutely original - but are crafted out of marine ply. Most
of the damage was done post-landing by RAAF techs souveniring or
stripping parts for other birds. Please send me a small example of what
you want - and remind me
sometime early March.


Greaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttt Dave!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!

What I need? Hummm, hard to explaim because you know my poor English.
The better way I thing is to subscribe to my website
(http://www.ffsmc.com) and to go in the walkarounds to see.
