This dual seat Mirage IIIDE was handed over to the Ejercito del Aire (EdA, Spanish Air Force) on 10 March 1972 as CE.11-4. After 2.996 flight hours it was withdrawn from service. Through the years it has flown as 103-16 and 111-14 and somewhere it was reserialled to CE.11-27. The aircraft was the last Mirage to take off from Manises. It was flown on 23 October 1992 to Getafe for storage. In 2000, it was sold to Pakistan as a spares source. Its construction number 542 is still unconfirmed.
