art on Mirages was rare. This is Mirage IIIO A3-16 The Road Runner
in October 1965 when it was the personal aircraft of Wing Commander
Cedric Thomas, C.O. of No 75 Squadron. Note the WGCDR pennant next to
the nose art. On this occasion the cockpit is occupied by FLTLT Dick
Moore. Note the zap marking from the 6441 Tactical Fighter Wing which
had deployed six F-105 Thunderchiefs from their base at Yokota, Japan
to Williamtown for Operation Pacific Concord One. QUEENSLAND
