Departing the rnway of Fairford, for a Kapos Red display with three other MiG-21s. This 5540 was delivered to Hungary in May 1976 and was stored at Papa air base (Hungary) after service with the Magyar Légierö (Hungarian Air Force) from mid-2000 up to at least early 2001. It was then preserved at Szabadbattyán (Hungary) but left that location by September 2024. Current status?
