from, Lockheed Hudson in WW11, by Andrew Hendrie, Airlife publishing.

just brought a copy of this book along with The Lockheed Twins, by Peter Marson, Air-Britain Publishing.

i also seek any other images of Hudsons, please don't tell me to Google, as i have done this until my Googles fell off!
what other books are available? what other internet site can i find stuff on, done British Pathe, and the Flight Archives.

Hi John

There is some coverage of 62 Squadron Hudsons and those used by the RAAF in my co-authored 'Bloody Shambles'. I also have a copy of 'War without Glory' which covers RAAF Hudsons in the early days.

Cheers
Brian

hi brian,

what is the image contence of these two book? at the moment my brain is full, so i really could do without the reading!!!!, i don't mind a little bit, but not page after page, if i try to cram anymore in it will run out of my ears.

Hi John

I'm afraid my books are mostly words and not many pix.

Cheers

John,

This image suggests that at one time one wing was black. Maybe when leaving this practise they'd refrain from repainting the aileron for fair of changing the balance with too much paint.



Here are some scans from various books:

thanks for letting me know brian.

Kyrre,

John,

There are quite a few pictures of white painted Hudson from Gibraltar, I think they were 206 Sqn, on Postlethwaites www.ww2images.com. You have to pay of course, but the database is quite big.
Here are some more from my collection. Notice the orange triangle on the dutch bird.

hi kyrre,

thanks for these three, i know about the WW2Images site, i was a paying member for a while, so i got everything there was, but they are small and i think his prices are way over the top.
