Hudson N7267 was built to contract 791587/38 by Lockheed at Burbank, California and shipped to the UK, arriving in July 1939. After assembly and testing it was
issued to 224 Squadron who were based at Leuchars in August 1939. It then transferred to 220 Squadron at Thornaby on an unknown date and sustained Cat.M(c)/FA damage
prior to the 8th April 1940 when it was inspected by 60 MU (this must have been within afew days of the mishap). It is believed to have been repaired on site
and returned to 220 Squadron. It then transferred to 6 OTU also at Thornaby on 19th July 1941 when the unit reformed at Thornaby. In June 1942 it sustained minor
damage (Cat.A/FA) but the events surrounding this are not yet known). Again it is believed to have been repaired on site but then transferred to 83 Grp. Com. Flt based
