RAAF Mirage 75 Squadron Movie 1980s

[@malcolmgibson5088]

I have fond memories of the Mirage at airshows. It is such a beautiful aircraft.

[@anthonywilfredwong4545]

I also had good memories of the Mirage III.

[@kevinstow3694]

Wow, did that bring back some memories. I spent 4 years working on Mirages, 18 months at 75 SQN in Butterworth, and it was one of the most satisfying times I had. Also spent time at 3 and 77 SQNs as well as 481 Maint. SQN, WLM. I recognised a few of the people in the Movie but don't ask me for names. I'm now suffering from "old timers disease" but still have the memories. It was a great aircraft for back seat ride as well. Thanks for the upload.

I remember this video was on repeat in the RAAF Museum at Point Cook when I was a kid!!! So many memories came flooding back watching this!! Thankyou for sharing.

Spent my time @ 76 Sqn. in Willytown mid 60's. Made life long friends and learnt a lot about life. Great memories, no regrets. Baz Slabosz

[@martinroyal1319]

Thanks a lot for posting that. What a bloody lovely video that is with some sound selections on soundtrack, too. I’d forgotten how cool the 75th squadron’s badge is, too. Again, cheers

[@rodentflyingfilms7868]

My pleasure Martin, I'm sure Fish would have been chuffed that you like it.

[@lawdpleasehelpmeno]

I bet Mirage-era pilots were allowed to have a lot more fun than our current gen fighter lads

[@Dickusification]

Big flying budget in the 70s

[@daveparer10]

Dads favourite, loved his 'French lady'

[@rodentflyingfilms7868]

Mick was a legend, Dave.

[@marciebalme588]

Excellent stuff , the pilots of the RAAF flew the Mirage very well

[@12345fowler]

Mike & The Mechanics perfect soundtrack and lyrics for the mighty Mirage III - well done

My pleasure, James.

It's Sad that Mark took His own life - He acheived so much more than most people could ever dream of in their lifetime - Hope He's happier, wherever he is 😔

[@timn4481]

[@exraafrabbit1]

I drank with Fish in Darwin and had the privilege to fly backseat with Milo Froelich in 86. Great memories.

[@michaelshore2300]

75 Squadron were based at RAAF Butterworth Malaysia there call signs were Cobra and Viper when &5 Squadron RAF visited their call sign was Mongoose

[@trevorbartels1730]

Thank You.

[@rodentflyingfilms7868]

On Fish's behalf, my pleasure, Trev.

[@Salman-sc8gr]

They started a new life in Pakistan.

[@anthonywilfredwong4545]

The Air France Concorde was it really in William town?

[@Techo1329]

Yep, PR visits. Newcastle got the Concorde because they were too noisy for the major airports.

[@rodentflyingfilms7868]

Anthony, I've checked with people who were there and this flight was at Darwin. The big cream building in the background is the Darwin RAAF hangar. Cheers, RFF.

[@thezorba1]

No....

[@brucetough4835]

Definitely Darwin for the Concord footage, I was there 95 - 97 as a gunnie.
