My all-time favorite WWII Bomber & Transport - since childhood! .. Since I spotted and fell in love with its 'cartoon'-plane lines in Tokyo Joe, with Humphrey Bogart. ... Even now, at 67, I still fantasize about traveling - at a so leisurely pace - around the World with it!
My uncle Waren Cowan and his crew were flying over Popendetta in PNG ON 6 JULY 1942 when they were attacked and shot down by SAKIA the Japanese ace and his band of zeros. He was flying a bombing mission and was trying to depart the scene when attacked. Haws flying the Hudson mk111A A16 -201 IN No 32sqadron of the AUSTRALIA AIR FORCE.
greetings from Portland, Oregon. I am stunned that there is a Lockheed Hudson still flying. I love this airplane when I first learn about it as a WW2 aviation buff. Truly a remarkable plane. I love to see 20 more of them flying!
I wonder if the rather aft rear turret, caused a center of gravity issue with the aircraft's stability. There also appears to be a lot of parasite drag from the same.
My father was a fitter armourer with the RAAF in Egypt and Italy during WW2 and often flew in a Hudson .It is good to see one fly in Aussie colours.
One great looking aircraft.....did her job and did it very well....congrats on a wonderful restoration
These were developed as civil aircraft in the USA. They were a stopgap measure for anti submarine work over the western approaches for coastal command but proved effective
Great show, spent a few hours in a Hudson but we called it P2V, between the side door and the bulkhead behind the pilot was a Nav table and underneath was a 50 gallon fuel tank, we drained it as soon as we reached a comfortable altitude .
Lovey film of an iconic WW2 aeroplane. Great to watch, thank you.
Just a wonderful sight, not many of those flying today. Thank you
Such an underrated aircraft
The old Hudson, Nice! A forgotten little bomber. Looks very good, nicely restored. A little windy that day? The Boomerang looked a bit twitchy next to the Hudson.
Those engines have a beautiful sound. Australia used the Hudson extensively.
There is a static display Hudson located at Gander Newfoundland, sadly it will never fly again.
Only the Fat Gunnertower rear disturb the very beautifull line , the Lockheed Harpoon is also very amazing
There were a few on the East Coast flying sub patrols during WW2 .I think they flew out of old Floyd Bennet Field.
The brits used them
I love the sound of round engines doplering past.
my great grandad was navigator on one of these back in ww2
Beautiful
I actually have a model of the Hudson in the markings of No 206 Squadron RAF Coastal Command
...lovely airplane ...I like the screaming Boomerang also...
I recall many years ago we were over Roma Queensland in a dust storm (4 of us, I was sitting in the back behind the co-pilot) in a Cher.140 - out of nowhere a voice cracked over our radio, what is your position, we replied coming down through it, then gave our elevation ( height). He told us he was in a Lockheed Hudson and his position. We descended down through it cautiously, becoming worried we started thinking of ascending. then someone yelled fence- visual for a few seconds, then out of the blue we came over a oval ( sports field), with a football game in process, I noticed the players just stopped and looked up, some seconds after we caught a glimpse of the strip on the port side (left), we came around and approached where we thought the strip was, and found we were too far to the right went around and finally came over the fence. Unbelievably about 6 months later I bumped into the pilot of the Hudson at St. George Leagues Club in Sydney. One thing I recall over the years in those situations - they were always ' organized panic or complete panic' ( just as a WW2 Spitfire pilot had told me). Roma was a interesting place - bottle trees, the pub we went into had swinging doors ( just like the Wild West USA). Fred Long G C. Qld.
Llnew Zealand air force used a few of these
Gorgeous plane - always loved the Hudson, despite how screwed up that too-far-aft turret looks.
Did the rear gunner ever accidentally shoot their own tail fins?? Just curious. Gorgeous aircraft!
i believe it a cam the would stop the guns from firing at that point then start back when clear
Nice clip of a unique airworthy survivor, thanks!
Nice to see the Canberra out on the apron, is it active again?
i saw the hudsen at tmora today when it was flying 4th of feburaary 2017
I'm no expert, but the tyres look quite under-inflated to me.
@Louis Gordon (I can't seem to be ably to reply to you directly): the Hudson was developed from the Super Electra. Wikipedia will tell you all you need to know.
I agree about the Tyres.
Noticed that too. I was a line attendant at an airport for several years and that looks to be under-inflated by all standards I know. Very hard on the sidewalls.
See: AERIAL GUNNER (1943 film).
I have this plane in war Thunder. Gotta love it
Huhh, never seen one of THESE before. Reminds me of a little bit if a cross between B-25 Mitchell and an A-20 Havoc...
Awesome
What is the reason for the low tire pressure?
Was that a boomerang flying along side it?
Yes it was/is a Boomerang. :-)
Good aircraft. Later made into the Ventura for the US Navy. That version was loaded to the teeth with armament and ordinance.
It sounds good with a boomerang
Ps iv been there 11 times
Reminds me of the PV-2 Harpoon
A few uboats met their fate from depth charges being dropped out of one of these.
Is this a clone or a "for real" WWII Lockheed Hudson bomber? I ask because it has windows, like it was an old passenger liner made to look like a WWII bomber. I would think, if it were purpose built during the war, they wouldn't have cut out the windows.
For real. The Hudson was based on the Lockheed Super Electra but retained the windows. There's quite a few photos available - e.g. s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/awm-media/collection/006878/screen/4132509.JPG
@@wavecentral Looks like you're right. Should've researched my question first. Thanks for the info, though. =)
Seasons Greetings from Wagga, NSW
Now, Temora isn’t far from here and the Hudson III (a.k.a Huddy) should probably meet with Connie (a.k.a one of The last operating Super Constellations)
And 5 days till Christmas here Bye
Looks like a flying Hippo! Nice to see a Canberra in the background though, will you be filming that?
In Ken Follett's novel Jackdaws, the group of female spies goes to France on board a Hudson aircraft
I looks nice, but it would improve a lot of you gave it some light weathering, and a nice panel line wash.
It's an operating aircraft, not a model!
