A3-2 was one of two French built Mirages delivered to the RAAF. From the third aircraft they were built in Australia. No. 2 served with ARDU, the weapons and aircraft development unit. Calibrations on the fuselage in these contrasting marking allowed accurate measurements to be taken. A3-2 had the distinction of being the last RAAF Mirage to perform at an air show, at Richmond in October 1988. It was sold to Pakistan in 1990 and delivered by sea.
