The CAC prototype Sabre (CA-26) first flew on August 3, 1953. The production aircraft were
designated the CA-27 Sabre with first deliveries to the Royal Australian Air Force beginning in
1954 powered by an Avon 20 engine and these were designated Sabre Mk 30. In 1957 and 1958
these aircraft had their wing slats removed and became Sabre Mk. 31. The last 69 aircraft to be
produced had the new Avon 26 engine and were designated Mk. 32. In the mid 1960s the Mirage
III began to replace the Sabres.
