NZ2049 was part of a batch of 300 Hudson IIIAs for the RAF, however the majority found their way to the RAAF and RNZAF. Under the nose window is the aircraft’s construction number, whilst beneath the windscreen the USAAF identity 41-36976 can be found.

Flying from Guadalcanal with 3 (GR) Squadron, RNZAF, NZ2049 survived at least two attacks from Japanese aircraft. Eventually she survived the war, but could easily have ended wrecked somewhere in a Pacific island jungle as presented here.

This Hudson was intended as FH174 for the RAF but was diverted and arrived in Australia during April 1942 and, subsequently, during the defence of Australia she is credited with two japanese kills. Now on display at the RAF Museum Hendon.

A type I have always had a soft spot for, the Lockheed Hudson, this being a Hudson IIIA. The Hudson was a military derivative of the famous Lockheed 14 Super Electra airliner. Marked as genuine RAAF A16-199, was good to see an Aussie in Hendon :-)
