I'm trying to help a friend track down info on a RAAF Mirage that apparently flew in New Zealand for an exercise in 1985, with a rather wild paint scheme. Does anyone know anything about this or (better still) have any images of it?
Many Thanks,
Adam.

Are you able to please describe the paint scheme? That might jolt some memories.

I'm also intrigued.... A3-2 wore a couple of interesting schemes whilst with ARDU but I would think it unlikely it crossed the ditch wearing either scheme.   |

Could it be Crunge? There is an old thread on this forum from 2014 talking about it, and this image is on google.  71-2 by Andrew Sutton, on Flickr |

Not sure the image will work, but this must be it  |

Actually, I’ve got another photo of that aircraft, A3-54, taken the day before the photo above. The day-earlier photo does not have the yellow markings on it so they must have been applied to the aircraft on the ‘night’ of the 13th of February 1985.
