В задачу подразделения входило прикрытие войсковых транспортов, прибывающих и выходящих из гавани Веллингтона. Эскадрилья летала на Hudson с 1941-го по 1943 год, когда на смену им пришли Ventura. Самолет оснащен стрелковой установкой Boulton Paul с двумя пулеметами.

Эскадрилья получила первые свои Hudson Mk III и Mk V в сентябре 1941 года, а последний вариант Mk VI был поставлен в ноябре 1942 года.

The first of the RAF’s Lockheed Hudson Is, N7205, is seen here with the type’s designer, Kelly Johnson, and Addams posing beside it at Burbank in December 1938. The RAF Hudsons were to be fitted with a Boulton Paul dorsal turret after the aircraft’s delivery to the UK, so a rather crude mock-up was fitted for various air tests.

Sqn. Ldr. J. Addams, who is performing acceptance tests of the Lockheed 14s for the Royal Air Force at the Burbank, California, factory, with Mr. C. L. Johnson (the company’s chief engineer) and the first of the machines to be passed off test. Notable differences from the civil Lockheed 14 are the bomb aiming windows in the nose, windows in the roof of the pilot’s compartment and the large turret aft. The camouflage suggests that although the machine is designated a G.R. type its activities will not be confined to over-water flying. Other points of interest include slinger rings on the airscrew hubs and guides for the Fowler flaps

The photograph, submitted by Eino Ritaranta, shows Lockheed 414 Hudson G-AGAR at Malmi airport, Helsinki, in the summer of 1940. We know that this was c/n 1761 ex N7364, C of A issued 3.5.40 nominally to Aeronautical Research & Sales Corpn Ltd and used for photo reconnaissance, operating in the Caspian and Black Sea areas 3.40 to 4.40, in Greece 6.40 and later in Libya. Presumably it was involved in similar activities when this photo was taken, anyone who can fill in further details about this Hudson should let us know.
Concerning the Hudson G-AGAR, John Battersby recalls that the Aeronautical Research and Sales Corpn was very much the cover for Sidney Cotton's wartime photo-reconnaissance work, and suggests that the Hudson may have eventually joined the Desert Air Force. Perhaps after all this is one for the military experts?

В начале войны самолеты Hudson имели огромное значение для английских ВВС - до 1942 года они были основными машинами Берегового командования. Возможно, что именно Hudson в ВВС Великобритании одержал первую победу во Второй мировой войне - потопил германскую субмарину.
TOUCHING DOWN: Although designed originally for operation from specially constructed runways, the Hudson is standing up fairly well to service conditions. A more robust landing gear for night landings on rough surfaces would, however, be very acceptable.

К началу 1942 года Береговое командование располагало 12-ю эскадрильями Hudson (на снимке самолет из 48-й эскадрильи), но лишь пять из них использовались в качестве противокорабельных, а остальные были задействованы для борьбы с подводными лодками или поисково-спасательных операций. Hudson осуществляли дневные полеты над Северным морем, вдоль побережья Норвегии и Голландии, нанося удары по одиночным судам или маленьким группам.

Британский контракт на самолеты Hudson сразу возвел компанию "Lockheed" в ранг ведущего производителя авиатехники, получившего крупнейший в истории США заказ. Самолет на снимке не несет обозначений, за исключением опознавательных знаков, использовавшихся до 1942 года. Вероятно, это один из первых Hudson, переделанных в A-29. Оснащенный двигателями Cyclone (в то время на большинстве Hudson RAF были установлены Twin Wasp), он сохранил британский камуфляж и турель Boulton Paul. Почти на всех A-29 позднего выпуска турели заменили открытой кабиной с 12,7-мм пулеметом.

The "multi-manual" nature of the Hudson is well demonstrated by this cockpit photograph. In the various gates above the central pedestal are the throttle, propeller, mixture and idle cut-off, oil-cooler and carburettor-heater controls, the autopilot engagement lever and the tailwheel lock. Centrally below is the fuel wobble-pump with, left and right, the fuel cocks and, below, the handle of the ratchet brake lever.

THE TAIL STING: In various scraps the Lockheed Hudsons of Coastal Command have given a good account of themselves. This is due firstly to the resolute and well-trained crews, and secondly to the power-operated Nash and Thompson turret which is fitted.

Hudson Mk VI. 48-я эскадрилья была первым подразделением RAF (Королевские ВВС Великобритании), получившим Avro Anson. На этих самолетах эскадрилья патрулировала прибрежные воды до октября 1941 года. В ее задачи входило сопровождение конвоев, борьба с подводными лодками и разведка. Вскоре после получения Hudson 48-ю эскадрилью перебросили в Гибралтар, задействовав для прикрытия операции "Torch" - высадки сил союзников в Северной Африке. В Гибралтаре ("на Скале") подразделение оставалось до февраля 1944 года, ведя патрулирование над западной частью Средиземного моря и Атлантикой, изредка вступая в схватки с германскими Fw 200 Condor. После возвращения в Великобританию эскадрилью оснастили транспортными самолетами Dakota, и она принимала участие в высадке во Франции.

Comparative pictures by "J.P." of ten twin tails, all from the same angle: The twin arrangement of fins and rudders has advantages from both aerodynamical and military aspects. It gives the rear gunner an excellent field of fire, especially if the turret is placed fairly far aft. Smaller control areas can be used and, since these surfaces are in the airscrew slipstream, good control is obtained at low speeds.
