Present at the 2008 RAF Northolt Charity Photocall was this Securite Civile(Civilian Security) Superscoop aka the Pelican which is home stationed at Marignane Airport, Marseille.
Caught in the setting sun at the 2005 RIAT at RAF Fairford, this Mirage 2000C shows the impressive SNECMA M53-P2 afterburning turbofan which powers this much respected single-seat interceptor.
When returning from the Gulf region the French Jaguard appeared to be painted in a fresh light brown camouflage. This colours were retained for a couple of years.
It took quite a while, but after all the public had disappeared we were finally able to photograph the aircraft on the static of the Comiègne open house.
