Hudson P5122 was built to contract 791587/38 by Lockheed-Vega at Burbank, California and was delivered by ship to the UK in early 1940. It was assembled by The Lockheed Assembly Division (UK) Ltd. at Speke and issued to 10 MU on 7th March 1940. After acceptance at MU it was issued to 224 Squadron at Leuchars on 17th May 1940. It was transferred to No.6(C)O.T.U. on 31st August 1941. After the crash at Thornaby on 15th July 1941 Cat.Ac/FA damage was the damage assessment and it was repaired on site. It was returned to the unit on 22nd July 1942. On 17th September 1942 it was given a major inspection by Cuncliffe Owen which then appears to have taken it off flying for some time. A repair in works followed and it was later issued to 23 MU on 16th August 1943. On 8th December 1944 it was issued to the ATA. It went to 22 MU on 8th December 1944 and was in store until being struck off charge on 28th June 1945.
