The various Anglo-French aviation projects of the early 1960's also extended to the licence-production of the Avon engined Dassault Mirage by BAC as the RAF's Hunter replacement and also the licence-production of the BAC Lightning by Dassault as an interceptor for the Armée de l'Air. Entering service in 1967 the Foudre served as a fast-climbing interceptor with several squadrons before being retired in the mid-1980's.

Great idea ! Could have been a great platform for Les Cigognes, but hopefully without first gen Atars in place of Avons. I'll try it with Matra 530.
