This Hip-C was built in August 1980 as the armed 'Tv' version and operated by the Iraqi Army between December 80 and February 1988. It was sent to Hungary in 1989 for overhaul but upon completion was placed into storage due to the sanctions against Iraq. It became property of the Hungarian Air Force in August 1992. It was last noted as being operational (as a Mi-8T) in 2005 but is now preserved at Budaors. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
