EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and powerful Mirage F.1C jet fighter of Escadron de Chasse 1/12 Cambresis, French Air Force, as it gracefully taxis on the runway at Greenham Common during the International Air Tattoo on 25 June 1977. The Mirage F.1C, registration number 67/12-YR, was manufactured by Dassault Aviation and is a variant of the Mirage F1, a multirole combat aircraft that first flew in 1966. The Mirage F1 was widely exported and saw combat in various conflicts, including the Gulf War and the Yom Kippur War. The Mirage F.1C, in particular, was an advanced version equipped with an upgraded Avionique Moderne Integrée Avionique (AMI) avionics suite and improved engines. The French Air Force's Escadron de Chasse 1/12 Cambresis was one of the units that operated this formidable aircraft. The International Air Tattoo, held annually at Greenham Common, is a renowned airshow that showcases a diverse range of military and civilian aircraft from around the world. This photograph, taken by an aviation enthusiast, perfectly encapsulates the raw power and grace of the Mirage F.1C as it prepares for takeoff, leaving a trail of exhaust in its wake.
