Mirage Pilots

[gordon]

I understand that the first Mirage pilot to rack up more than 3,000 hours in the "La Belle Dame de la France" was S/L 'Bazz' Turner, I think from No. 3 Sqn.

Apparently only another 6 Mirage pilots achieved this lofty goal. Anyone know who the other 6 were and their sqns? Would 2 of them have been W/C Bomball and F/L Cassebohm?

Thanks.

Not a problem. Hope it helped.

It did indeed.

Do u happen to know sqns? I believe S/L Turner was in 3 Sqn. Any idea for the others?

Also did u not know of the rank of four of them eg. Meissner at the time?

Thanks.
