Indeed, I recall how the Brits were still using it for precision strike missions in the first Gulf war in the early 90s. How did you guys find the Bucc in the low level role, especially in the hot and dusty conditions on Africa?

I think the task of the Buccanear was to 'light up' the target for laser guided strikes by the Tornado.

If I recall correctly, Iraqi, AAA took a heavy toll of low flying Tornados and Buccaneers during the early days of Gulf War I

Massive testament to PAC in how well maintained and smart these Mirages look. PAF has looked after them well and obviously overhauls and modernisation done to high standard. If you look at current pics of IAF MIG-21s and Jaguars of similar age in Indian service you will see what I mean.

Do our Mirage pilots wear NVGs during night Ops?

I have kept the old hf transceiver from these old M3s. SAAF had hf transceiver which was very unusual.

The gray paint scheme really shines.
