Aircraft of the ADF-A11 Dassault Mystere

A11 Dassault Mystere 20

 In 1965, when the Hawker Siddeley HS. 748 was chosen as a navigation trainer and VIP transport for the RAAF, two other types were selected for No 34 Squadron’s VIP duties. These were three Dassault Mystere 20 and two BAC-111 aircraft.

Built jointly by Generale Aeronautique Marcel Dassault and Sud-Aviation, the Mystere 20 was based upon the and structurally proven wing of the Dassault Mystere family of fighter aircraft. Coincidentally, another popular executive jet had a similar lineage. The Gates Learjet was built around the wing of a fighter project developed in Switzerland.

The prototype Mystere 20, registered F-WMSH, flew on May 4 1963 with US Pratt & Whitney JT12A turbojets, but these engines were later changed to General Electric CF700s, and in this form flew on July 10 1964. The first production Mystere 20 flew on January 1 1965.
