was there ever a prototype of the Super-Mirage / Mirage G8A !

In the latest AIR Enthusiast issue (Sept./Okt. ’02) there is a very interesting article regarding the proposed Dassault Super-Mirage family G8A (ACF) which led to the Mirage 4000 …

What I found interesting is a short passage regarding the cancellation of the ACF (Mirage G8A) on page 54:

“The news was met with relief in most quarters of the French aerospace industry, ….. . The prototype is believed to have been near complete but a replacement, what became the Mirage 2000, was already well underway. ”

Does anyone know if there really was a prototype and what happened to it ????!!!!

Thanks in advance, Deino 🙂

Here’s a very good link about the later Mirage 4000 !
