Hi all….
Friday brought the end of yet another airline, Malev ceased operations after 66 years as Hungarys international airline after the European Commission ordered them to repay various forms of state aid received from 2007 to 2010, totalling 38 billion forints (130m euros; $171m; £108m).
I managed to get a shot of HA-LOA departing EGSH after spray at Air Livery back in November 2011 and thought it would be a fitting tribute to start a thread and if possible have a shot of every aircraft in there fleet.

A sad sight to see all the Malevs parked up out of service at SNN.
Poor Malev. Never mind though – more Ryanair planes in the sky to admire……NOT.

Came from California via ebay about 9 years ago
That was a nice find. It makes you wonder how a Hungarian toy plane, ended up in California;)
Going thru the loft over the weekend, did yield a Malev ‘desk flag’ that I’d forgotten about.

Yes the BA 747 x 2 & 2 777 were diversions from LHR due to snow
More of them here

A sad sight to see all the Malevs parked up out of service at SNN. One of the better colour schemes and one of the last remaining of the dark nose brigade. Was the BA 747 a diversion ?

Where on Earth did you find that tin plate Ilyushin? I used to have one without a box, but I got pestered by a Malev ‘enthusiast’ and let it go (for a good price though) I have a tin plate Il62, not a Malev one, although they did fly one on lease for a time. the 62 was made in the GDR/East Germany. I do have a very detailed 1/200 model of a Malev 737-400, which I got from their ‘town office’ in Budapest.

And I’m sure that Wizz will benefit also. Hopefully that, and the Ryanair plans, will mean that some Malev personnel get jobs out of it. I wonder just how fit and stable the likes of TAROM, and JAT Airways are at this moment in time.

What is happening to the routes that were operated out of BUD by Malev ?
Ryanair are taking a lot of slots. How surprising.
