Not sure, but the Vampire should be up there as well!?

to my knowledge, these three SF.260Ws for Comores, D6-ECD, D6-ECE and D6-ECF, were never delivered to Comores.
They remained in storage from 1977 till 1984 at Vergiate (Italy) and Gosselies (Belgium).
In 1983/84 the aircraft went back to the factory for ‘overhaul’ and prepared for re-sale in the US.
OO-XDE (ex. D6-ECE) crashed in December 1984 in France during its ferry flight from Vergiate to Gosselies.
D6-ECD was sold as N24FD, crashed 21 Feb 1990 in California
D6-ECF was sold as N28FD, still airworthy

I don’t have the details at hand, but it is believed that the Comores was used as a front for Rhodesian sanctions busting and that five never made it on board the ship delivering them.

There was no real IAI Nammer, just a “project” with the F-404 in mind at first.
In JANE’S 92/93 p 141 there is a drawing and data of a “Nammer” with ATAR 9K-50. So we can make-up our minds, which Mirage customers needs were fullfilled really.
By the way, the last Kfir was assembled in 1983 and the last Kfir retired from service in July 1995.

Thanks for the correction, but the Israeli’s definitely fitted and tested the 9K-50, so on what aircraft? Not sure what you are implying with the dates ?

wasn’t a Kfir was it…?

Kfir never had retractable foreplanes??

The Milan(Kite) S(Suisse) was developed together with the Swiss Federal Aircraft Factory to meet a Swiss requirement which was won by the Northrop F-5E.
Three aircraft were produced. The first was made from a Mirage 5J and tests were conducted during 1968-69.
The second which I think “slipperysam” is talking about was made from Mirage IIIR No.344. This first flew in May 1969.
The last was made from Mirage IIIE No. 589 and had the more powerful 09K50 engine. It first flew in May 1970 and had a 12% reduction in landing speed.
