Here are my Lebanese Mirage IIIEL's that I Created for myself. A pretty neglected subject in my opinion.

They are based on the Mirage Factory Mirage IIIEA and skin wise, they pretty accurate. Credit goes to Paulopanz for his awesome work on the numbers decals. Thanks buddy!

1969: RAF Thunderstrike S.1s deploy to Iran for Exercise PERSIAN FLAME, a series of joint exercises with the Imperial Iranian Air Force:

The exercises included low recon, defence supression and level penetration missions using both conventional and nuclear weapons:

There were persistent rumours that RAF aircraft carried out cross-border recce missions into the southern Soviet Union, but military authorities in both the UK and Iran would offer no comment, although it is interesting to note that the operational records relating to this exercise have remained sealed under a special 50-year ruling.

 

The Shah of Iran was particularly impressed by the performance of the British jets in both this exercise and the later Exercise PERSIAN FIRE in 1973, involving Thunderstrike S.2 aircraft, and personally directed the commander of the air force to investigate the possibility of procuring enough aircraft to equip several squadrons.
