Does anyone know what D7 is I heard them call a chase last night on channel 34 near graylands?

Techincally speaking it's correct call-sign is Charlie Delta 507, but they are quite often heard D7, D8 etc etc....

Major Incident Group (MIG's).

Nice suburb for a chase, what were they chasing??

cheers

I wouldn't be surpised if it's CD507, Major Incident Group or MIG.

Back in the days before the dual letter, three-number callsign allocations, the MIG was known as Division 79 (the unit was established in 1979) with a mobilised, 'crime responsive' role. They were often first on scene for major crimes and the 'Delta' callsigns were exclusively theirs. These days the MIG is allocated CD5xx, but on occasion some officers might lapse into 'Delta' followed by the last digit of two digits for expediency in a fast-moving situation.

Hi

And yes it was CD507 and it ended right in front of me on Cambridge St and Harborne St in Wembley. No stinger was not used VKI did not give OK TWO PISS UQ crew unhappy. It was a Commodore. Ute with back FG cover.
Plus Perth traffic 106 and CG460 plus GL 102 were there too,
