Note the small "Hungarian Air Service" titles below the windows. This aircraft left Berlin in June 1991 on a flight to Sydney to commemorate 100 years of manned flight, since Otto Lilienthal introduced the concept of wings for manned flight in 1891 (generally considered as the beginning of human flight). The aircraft crashed near Bayan, Lombok, Indonesia on 21 Sep1991 after the engine failed whilst flying through a narrow valley.
