Desperate Journey starring Errol Flynn, Ronald Regan, Raymond Massey, Alan Hale Senior. Aircraft used to escape from Nazi Occupied France and return to England. I would love to fly in it.
There is a Hudson mk3 at the RNZAF Museum at Wigram Christchurch. It is complete but static display only. Very nice aircraft with a lot of history for NZ and Australia.
The first time I saw the Wigram Hudson was in 1961, on a farm a few kilometres south of Oamaru, with only the fuselage sitting in a paddock. Five years later, I had the opportunity to go inside it and stepped through and over years of chicken feathers and droppings. Not a pretty sight. The next time I saw the aircraft was ten years ago, in the museum. Now fully restored, it looks great and is a credit to everyone involved.
This was the last Airworthy Hudson in Australia . It was on the gold coast and owned by the long brothers . I think they donated / sold it to the Australian war museum and it is now retired .
One should remember that this plane began life as an airliner..

Excellent, it must be the only Lockheed Hudson left in existence. I thought that there were precisely none?

OMg....there is a Hudson still around? Someone please tell me where. I am a Hudson fan and thought none of the earlier models exited.
