Dave,

Its the crew hack, inbound Shannon, to take home the crews of the fourteen ILFC leased Boeings which have been ferried out of Budapest this evening.

LOA at Tel Aviv
LOB on maintenance at Budapest
LOI at Dublin
LOP still at Budapest

Here in Lancashire I logged 13 Malev 737s, mostly in the half-hour before midnight, plus the Dash-8 earlier.

Sad event.

So sad to see MA go. I loved their livery.
