HA-MAB  Ilyushin Il-14M                                 (c/n   147001423)

                                  

                                        Here's an evocative shot from the Gábor Toth.colection showing the second of Malev's IL-14s
                                        in company with a CSA Tu-124V on the ramp at Budapest in the late 1950s.      The greatly
                                        increased tail area of the IL-14 over its predeccessor IL-12 it very evident in this photo.  Unlike
                                        the rest of the Malev's Il-14s, which were seconded to the Aeroflot fleet after being withdrawn
                                        from service, this one, I believe, was used for fire practice at Budapest airport.
