VH-EWE
Lockheed 414-08 Hudson IV
(c/n 6039)
This was about the only angle that shots of
EWA Hudsons could be taken from at Mascot. Even
in 1954 it was
not prudent to walk out onto the far side of the ramp and shoot inwards
towards the
terminal
since that area of the tarmac was visible from the control tower.
This aircraft was previously
VH-JCM
and became VH-BPT in 1956. It
wound up back with a EWA-style rego
as VH-EWR
in 1958 when used for
rainmaking with the CSIRO. For full details of its history
