HA-MAE
VEB Ilyushin Il-14P
14803029
Malév Hungarian Airlines
HA-MAE is taxiing in to the field after landing on runway 25. I have several reports of this airframe at Riem: 31 July 1965 (together with HA-MAF), 22 June 1968, 5 October 1968, 23 November 1968, 11 January 1969 and 18 January 1969 (Information from Klaus Held’s Riem chronicle). Probably there were more visits.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Dmitry Belov (slightly adapted):
VEB Ilyushin Il-14P c/n 14803029 built in East Germany by VEB Flugzeugwerke Dresden in 1958. Delivered to Malév in April 1958 as HA-MAE, converted to Il-14P(T) in March 1966. Sold to USSR May 1970, flown there in June 1970. Became CCCP-61663 and converted to Il-14LR ice-reconnaissance aircraft. Later wfu and stored at Nizhniye Kresty. The fuselage was transported to Yakutsk in 2005 and was still there in May 2020.

Detailed history of this airframe from il-14.hu:
The aircraft was completed on April 1, 1958 at the aircraft factory near Dresden and landed at Ferihegy on March 8, 1958. It received its airworthiness certificate on 28 March 1958.
On 14 April, Malév presented the Il-14P aircraft to the press during a sightseeing flight over Lake Balaton. On 20 May 1961, the aircraft, which originally had 26 seats, was upgraded with a double seat, making it a 28-seater. On 20 May 1961, the crew was increased by a further four. During this conversion, the windows next to and opposite the entrance door were replaced by emergency exit hatches which opened from the inside. On May 5, 1962, the parachutists of the Szabolcsmegyei Flying Club, with the participation of the best parachutists of the country, made a record jump from 8070 metres in the area of Nyíregyháza.
From 28 January 1964, it could accommodate 36 passengers, like the other aircraft. The aircraft's empty weight was then increased to 12330 kg. By 1964 it had flown 4841 hours.
Malév, after putting the Il-18 aircraft into service, requested the delivery of a replacement engine in case of a possible engine failure abroad. A freighter aircraft was needed that could perform this task, so on the basis of a modification plan, the HA-MAE was converted into a large freighter version at the Dresden factory on 18 March 1966. Its type designation was changed to IL-14T (Il-14PT).
At the end of the 1960s, Malév no longer needed the Il-14 aircraft, so after removing the Hungarian-related markings, it was sold to the Soviet Union. On 05 June 1970, it took off from Ferihegy and flew out of Hungarian airspace at 11:25 and was removed from the register on the same day. After conversion to an ice-field reconnaissance aircraft, Il-14LR served as an ice-search aircraft at Aeroflot Krasnoyarsk base under registration CCCP-61663. On 5 February 1972, it was still in service according to a Minri record. After being taken out of service, the aircraft was dismantled in 2003 and the fuselage was transported to Krasnoyarsk, where the wing of the aircraft with registration CCCP-41863 was rebuilt.
In 2009, only the fuselage was seen lying on the ground, in a rapidly deteriorating state.
