This is in the check-in hall at Canberra airport, I think they must have built the airport round the plane.
Plaque reads: ' The Lockheed Hudson RAAF Workhorse
The Lockheed Hudson was one of the most versatile aircraft used by the Allied air forces in the early part of the Second World War. It filled a desperate need for a long range patrol/bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. Based on a civilian airliner, it made its first flight in 1938, modified to include a bomb bay, positions for an operational crew of five, and defensive armament.
From 1939 the Royal Australian Air Force took delivery of 247 Hudsons. These were used in a variety of roles across the Pacific, North African and Mediterranean theatres, including bombing and reconnaissance operations, air-to-sea rescue, transport, and convoy protection. The Hudson was one of the true "work horses" of the RAAF.
This aircraft, A16-105, arrived in Australia in early December 1941 and was used to train RAAF aircrews. Between December 1942 and January 1943 it saw operational service in Papua and New Guinea, carrying out supply flights during the Allied advance on Buna on Papua's north coast.
Lockheed Martin Australia continues to provide essential capabilities to the Australian Defence Force including the C-130 Hercules and the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.'
