Lockheed Hudson FH376
Hello all.
a question that the French members might be able to help with. The RAF transferred four Lockheed Hudsons to the Free French in West Africa. http://avions-de-la-guerre-d-algerie...-71650941.html My question is. What bevame of aircraft FH376? Did it remain in French service or was it returned to the RAF. Air Britain FA-FZ book has no final fate mentioned beyond transfer to France. Any ideas anyone? i beleive I have googled this well.

After supply to the so called Free French Hudson Flight, FH376 went to Aeronautique Navale and Esc 1BR coded 1BR-IV. It was destroyed in an accident at Port Etienne, Mauretania 29.3.1943 Only one aircraft of these four was returned to RAF (FH400 in Jan 1944) since the other two were also w/o at various dates in 1943.

Re: Lockheed Hudson FH376
Thanks so much Stig. I was told it crashed but I was wondering when and where.
This aircraft made emergency landing in Ireland in 1942 on its delivery flight. Where you able to get that info from?
