A Hungarian Government aircraft, built in 1974 and leased to Malev for scheduled services during summer 1981, later joining the airline as HA-LBN after conversion to A-3 standard. Joined Kolavia's fleet as RA-65944 in 2000

On a rare visit to London, this was the personal aircraft of Mozambique's president Samora Machel. He was killed aboard the same aircraft when it crashed in the Lebombo mountains at Mbuzini in eastern Transvaal on 19 Oct 86 after navigational problems and a 32-sec GPWS warning

A Government/military aircraft

One of the highlights of my first visit to SHJ. Delivered to the Angolan Government back in 1978 and active till at least 2003, although reported wfu at Luanda since 2006

Mozambique's presidential aircraft was not a common sight in Europe, so its visit to Rotterdam Airport was very welcome. This aircraft crashed near Nelspruit, South Africa three years later, on 19 October 1986. The aircraft broke up and caught fire, killing 26 of the 36 passengers, including President Machel.
