The late Paul Mason is an Aircraft Life Support Fitter in the RAAF.  He has served over 15 years in the Air force.  Paul’s passion for the Mirage started the day he first saw one fly over his house as a kid in the ‘60s. That interest stayed with him throughout his school years and into adult hood. Unfortunately he joined the RAAF too late to be able to work on them (unless you count packing them off to Pakistan) but did, at least, have the pleasure of seeing them perform at many an airshow over the years. Paul has also been an avid collector of all things "Mirage" and his impressive collection includes everything from photos, publications and documents to an authentic ejection seat. In his spare time he is a keen modeller and aviation photographer and is also well known in the RAAF for his airbrush artwork.
