On the 14th April 1940 60 MU once again were back at Thornaby to inspect a damaged aircraft, their ORB for that date states
"inspected Hudson N7304, Thornaby". Again no further details are known but it is assumed to have been damaged in the days before the 14th. The scale of the damage is not known.
If the damage was deemed Cat.R(b) and it was only repairable in works then it would have been transported to Cunliffe-Owen Aircraft Ltd. at Eastleigh as they were
the only company at that time with a contract to repair Hudsons in the UK.
Crew - Names unknown, uninjured?
Hudson N7304 was built to contract 791587/38 by The Lockheed Aircraft Corporation at Burbank, California and shipped to the UK arriving in September 1939.
After assembly and testing it was issued to 220 Squadron at Thornaby in late 1939. It suffered the damage was detailed above prior to 14th April 1940 and was
inspected by 60 MU at Thornaby on this date. After repair it was transferred to 1 (c)OTU at Silloth on an unspecified date. On 4th May 1941 it stalled and spun into the
Solway Firth with the loss of its crew. Cat.W/FA damage being recorded.
