Base de Cambrai
BA103 Base Aérienne 103
The 50 Mirage IV-A ordered in March 1959 were all finally delivered between 1964 and 1966. They were dispersed on nine air bases, organized into three mixed squadrons of bombardment, composed each of three squadrons of bombardment and a squadron for in-flight refueling under the Strategic Air Command. On 01 August 1965 the l'Escadron de bombardement [bombardment squadron] EB 3/93 Sambre was formed at Cambrai AB.
Currently, the L'escadron de chasse 1/12 Cambrésis is equipped with Mirage 2000 RDI and is stationed on the Air Basis 103 of Cambric-Epinoy in the air defense role. This squadron forms part of the Tigre community and, consequently, it takes part regularly in Tiger Meet (since 1961, date of first Tiger meet).
