An
Australian Hudson in Israel. Clearly the bomb bay doors are operational.
It is believed that only one Hudson was used by the IAF in a combat
role. The lack of a bump for the carburettor air intake at the top of
the cowling indicates that this Hudson is powered by Pratt & Whitney
engines. As only one of the Australian Hudsons delivered to Israel had
Pratt & Whitney engines, this Hudson must be the former VH-BIH.
Note that the aircraft is fitted with a baggage door on the side of
the nose.
