Hi
Did anyone read off the 5 stored EdA Mirages that were visible from the civil terminal at Albacete in May 2017. There were four facing right and one facing left. Some of the codes were obscured.
I read off :-
C.14-04 - couldn't see nose for code.
C.14-89 / 14-47 ** looks like c.14-69 ***
Then there were two that I messed up in the heat haze!
1) Code 14-49 - this was reported as having no tail and should be C.14-91 (ex tiger scheme)
2) one that looked like C.14-90 or C.14-80 *** EDIT IT WAS C.14-90 **** end edit
I should have sneaked a photo.

Mike

Re: Albacete May 17 - stored Mirage F.1
Finally answered my own question after a recent trip to Albacete!
There are six Mirage F.1 , one with out a tail opposite the civil terminal
Facing east:
C.14-69/14-47
C.14-90 code blocked by above
C.14-04 code blocked by above
C.14.66 code blocked by code 14-49 below
C.No tail / 14-49
And one mirage facing west - code and serial obscured.
In a nearby dump/ compound there are two C-101
One code (79)-47
The other C-101 is silver
Plus a hornet in a desert camo like nawc scheme.

Fair enough
But it sure looked like 69 through a scope with no heat haze
After some googling c.14-89/14-47 would seem to be correct after all.
