Archival ABC TV RAAF Mirage footage?

I've contacted ABC and they are no use whatsoever.
Does anyone have the footage of RAAF Mirages engaged in some aerobatics
- it was used just prior to station closure at around midnight. Ooh,
about twenty years ago at least!

I remember that footage - although I remember it as B & W, if it's not a
dodgy memory, it means your footage predates '75.

I'm surprised the ABC doesn't have a copy _somewhere_.

Hi rb

Can't say for sure how these links may help, but probably worth a try.
Just use your own unique combination of key words as the search criteria and
see what happens.

Couldn't give you a copy, but there was a 3 min clip to the theme music of
the 1978 movie "Superman"... so it was after 1978!

It was shot in and around Williamtown.

ABC use to use it as a 'filler', along with a 3 min clip on the steam loco
3801. The 3801 I believe was made by Film Australia, so the Mirage one may
of been too.
