Very Nice, thanks for posting, hope to get up there to see it later in the year.

And for anyone else thinking of going to Yorkshire Air Museum.... go for it, as it is one of the best and certainly the friendliest museum I have ever visited :thumbs: :thumbs:

I'm trying to remember which the other Mirage this Museum has? Would be great to see the 2 together.

Mirage IIIE 538 wearing "3-QH".
Will be good to see both Mirages - side-by-side or will the IVA be kept undercover?
Cheers, TM74

I suspect the UK DSA should spend more time looking at standards in London (maybe)....
