AUSTRALIAN MILITARY
Originally published for the 50th Reunion of Operation Thoroughfare, this engrossing compilation of stories from aircrew, groundcrew and families, all relating to the Squadron’s “big move” up to Malaysia with their brand-new ground-attack “Lizard” Mirages in 1969.
“Back in 1969, a bunch of very enthusiastic blokes were assembled and together they ferried 21 Mirage aircraft the 7,000 kilometres from Williamtown to Butterworth. It was called Operation Thoroughfare. The Squadron returned to Australia in March 1986.”
