First flown in February 1969 and delivered new to Malév the next month. Malév started scheduled service to Oslo-Fornebu once a week April 1st 1969, using Tu-134 on Tuesday afternoon. The routing was Budapest to East Berlin-Schönefeld and Copenhagen-Kastrup to Oslo-Fornebu, returing the same way. In 1971 they changed to twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays. HA-LBE was withdrawn from use in 1987 and preserved at Budapest Aeropark. Photo by my good friend Jan Olav Martinsen from the roof terrace at Fornebu.

Keeping in style with Soviet flightdecks (and ship's radio rooms), the colours of the Tu-134's instrument panel is bright green. It is also from a very analogue era.

Delivered to Malev as HA-LBE in 1969. Withdrawn from use at Budapest in 1987 and preserved there.

Served with Malév from April 1969 to December 1987. To the forerunner of Aeropark August 1991.

Preserved in the Aviation Museum

This 134 was delivered to Malév in April 1969 and flew with the airline until its last flight and retirement on 18th December 1987. It was then stored at Ferihegy until being handed over to the airline's Educational Centre in August 1988 but has been preserved at this wonderful collection since August 1991.

At the new Aeropark location.
