Crash Landed Lockheed Hudson
Great E Bay pic of a crash landed Lockheed Hudson. Camouflage looks early war 1940-1941.
Can anyone ID? Last edited by kaki3152; 23rd September 2017 at 23:08. |

Re: Crash Landed Lockheed Hudson
I think that Hudson is AM549 PZ-F of 53 Squadron, lost on 8 April 1942. Hit by flak and ditched off Sylt. All the crew became POWs.

Re: Crash Landed Lockheed Hudson
Thanks Martin for the quick ID. I could see the first letter of the code was P but could not discern the second letter.
