About "Saaf Mirage Iiicz"
Sixteen Mirage IIICZ all-weather single-seat interceptors & fighters were supplied to the South African Air Force between 1962 and 1964.
2 Squadron Mirage IIICZ depicted here demonstrating the Mirages' exceptional vertical climb ability.
This is the aircraft set the South Africa Air Force on the path of regular supersonic operations with its top speed was 2 237 kph with a 1 198 km range.
The Mirage III had a distinguished career in the SAAF, in particular the CZ, which saw regular combat operations throughout the so-called Bush War in southern Angola from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s.
Although the Mirage IIICZ was intended for use by the SAAF in the interceptor / air superiority role, it saw most of its SAAF combat action in the Close Air Support (CAS) / ground attack role with some notable actions.

About Don
I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.
EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

All my works are available as prints.
