It was Mirage F1CZ 206. Her rear fuselage was mated to 205's front fuselage that was damaged in an fire if I am not mistaken. Became known as 205 and a half. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this fact.
Correct, 205 caught fire landing at Langebaanweg on 8 Feb 1985, so was rebuilt using rear of 206.
