a bit off track but I think this is interesting
No Mirage has ever landed/crashed at Laverton Victoria. A wheels up at Tullamarine and flame out with an ejection at Avalon but the only operation of a Mirage at Laverton was a takeoff.
How is this so you may ask?
Well during the 1970's there was an airshow (i can not remember the exact year) at Laverton and the Mirage was trucked on a low loader down on Geelong Road (not freeway - only two lanes back then) from Avalon. It flew out on Monday with min fuel back to Avalon. I think the pilot was MR Green my next boor neighbour at the time but I may be wrong.
