3 Hudson Losses 20/21 March 1945
Hello, how are you all doing?
During the night of 20/21 March 1945, 3 Hudson's from the 161sq. out of Tempsford were shot down. F/L Ferris and his crew near Baraque Fraiture in Belgium. F/L Helfer and his crew near Asselborne in Luxembourg. But the third one flown by F/O Ragan and his crew, anyone has some information about where it came down? Hope someone has more info. Lars. |

This should be in the 'Allied and Soviet Air Forces' section...
You may get a lot more responses, and information, there.

Is a correct serial of this Hudson in particular available ?. In the threat you mentioned the a/c serial is AE595. "Air Britain Publication, RAF Aircraft AA100 to AZ999" reports, that a Lockheed Hudson with the s/n AE595 was not delivered. Best regards ! Horst Weber |

If that's a pop at me, then this is how the title to that section is, exactly:
Allied and Soviet Air Forces Go take a look. There is no mention of the Luftwaffe/Axis in the post, hence my comment about it being properly placed there.

Don't know about the serial numbers. That particular bit of info didn't come from me - Paul citing Phil Mertens' article. At one point I believe the After The Battle article was available online, can't find it now. |

Re: 3 Hudson Losses 20/21 March 1945
I have checked back in the Battle Orders for 161 Sqdn and the serial number AE595 is quite clear in all entries that I have looked at.
"Lockheed Hudson In World War II" says not delivered. |

Re: 3 Hudson Losses 20/21 March 1945
Thank you all for you're replies. I will look into it abit further. The reason I was asking is that I was in contact with mr. Mertens who wrote the the article in ATB No. 119 and he told me that there was a 3rd Hudson crash in Dochamps. I thought it could be this one.
Sit72300 talked about checking the battle orders for the 161sq. where can I find those? |
