    Hungarian Flight Hours Medals- Question


    Recommended Posts

    Hello all, can someone let me know if the ribbons for the above medals are the same or different like the Long Service Medals?

     

    If different, can you point me to were I can find the correct ribbons?

     

    Many thanks my friends

    Hey Gorden, I don't have any yet.  I'm trying to determine what ribbons are correct, so when I do find some, I have the correct ribbon.

     

    Sorry for the confusion

    Greg, 

     

    To my, non-reliable😅, knowledge, they are identical, both in ribbon, and in medal, except for the different writing in the centre, and the jet fighter just below.

     

    Regards,

    Good to hear that you are sorted. Lukasz has a ribbon chart which shows them nicely: https://www.medals.pl/hu/hu4.htm

     

    The Defence Service Medal is awarded for years of service/flight hours/parachute jumps:

     

    40 years/3500 flight hours/3500 jumps - pale blue

    35/3000/3000 - green

    30/2500/2500 - purple

    25/2000/2000 - white

    20/1500/1500 - mid-blue

    15/1000/1000 - light brown

    10/500/500 - yellow

     

    All with red edges and a white stripe next to the edge with narrow red and green stripes on it.

     

    So plenty for you to collect 🤓

    Hey Megan, do you know how dumb I feel!  I forgot about that link you sent me before. Then, bingo, it came to me.

     

    Better use my brain before the keyboard next time!

     

    Thanks again all!

     

    Stay well my friends

    Don't fret, Greg. As I tell my students, the only stupid question is the one that you do not ask!

     

    Now that the marking monster has been slain I shall have more time for medals so shall see about getting my Huhgarian section into better shape. Found some sources for images of this lot, so maybe I'll start with them.

    Megan,

     

    I look forward to seeing the HuPR section expand! I wish you luck in finding the relative images and information!

     

    Regards,
