This Mi-8 was built in March 1979 and delivered to the Iraqi Army as 204. In 1989 it was sent to Hungary for overhaul at Tököl but placed into storage upon completion due to the sanctions against Iraq. In August 1992 it became property of the Hungarian AF, given the serial 6204 and became based at Szolnok. After a period of storage it acquired the Ukranian registration UR-PLF but is now parked (preserved or operational?) at the M-Air facility in Chocznia without a visible reg.
