Would it be a Lockheed Hudson, or is that too easy...
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 178
I've just found an identical photo on Google which identifies it as a Vickers type 480 which contradicts Wiki in that there were types 447, 451 and 457 listed respectively for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prototypes.

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 178
Hello all, yes, Type 480 it is, John................ reason stated as above. (Reference to any relevant details pertaining to this individual aircraft would do it.)
Cliff was correct with his answer as an aircraft but John was correct for this specific type.
Vickers, being the well known maker of the aircraft.
Cheers,
John
