Received a new paintjob somewhere between 2012 and 2019.

[Olympus Though TG-4]

This Hound-A is in reality '534' of the Nationale Volksarmee (NVA) but is on display at the RepTár Szolnoki Repülőmúzeum in these Hungarian markings. The original HuAF '27' (cn 1027) was written-off on 28th Oct 1957.

This Hound carries two serials with '569' (its correct identity) on the port side. She served with the NVA HG-31 later 34, (HG = Hubschraubergeschwader or helicopter wing) at Bandenburg-Briest before being decomissioned and used as a training airframe at OHS Bautzen. Fortunately she was handed over to the Luftwaffenmuseum at Uetersen before transferring to Gatow in the mid-nineties.

Modern helicopters are so boring in comparison to this work of art - just beautiful! The Hermeskeil museum is super and well worth a visit for the variety of aircraft on offer (and as you can see not covered in many layers of unauthentic paint either).

This is one of two Mi-4 helicopters preserved as part of the outdoor exhibit at the Polish Aviation museum.

The Mil Mi-4 was one of the first helicopters capable of lifting significant loads, such as 14 troops. Note the machine gun in the ventral gondola. The rotorless example is a naval version equipped with search radar

The flag marking presumably represents the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. The real No 27 (c/n 1027) crashed in October 1957. This is in fact an East German machine, 534.

Entered Czechoslovak service with a liaision squadron in 1974.
