Model History and Information: Australia selected the Mirage III as its first supersonic fighter, and the locally assembled Mirage IIIO became a central part of RAAF air defence from the 1960s through the 1980s. No. 75 Squadron operated the type from RAAF Butterworth as well as from Australian bases. A3-16 in the September 1965 marking captures the early service period, when the Mirage represented a major technical step beyond the RAAF's earlier subsonic fighter force. The named serial, unit, date and finish on this model identify the individual historical subject represented: Mirage IIIO A3-16, 75th Sqn, RAAF, Sept 1965.
