RAAF aircraft A7-14 that was transferred in 1932 to the Civil Aviation Branch of the Defence Department, then responsible for civil aviation. Crashed in 1933 and then struck off the register in 1934. Rebuilt by the RAAF and returned to the CAB in 1936. Sold to the RQAC in 1939 but a year later was back with the RAAF, impressed as A7-85. At some time in RQAC service swapped its Cirrus engine for a Gipsy. Photo from: State Library of Queensland

'Bombers for Britain. Glendale became a staging area for the shipment of Lockheed Hudsons. They were flown out of Burbank after testing and landed at Glendale for processing by Babb Co as sea cargo.' This early Hudson is in full British markings - N7220 is its RAF serial. This airframe was eventually converted into a VIP transport. It was used by the Dutch Communication Flight and crashed at Evere, Belgium in October 1944. Photo by: Ralph Johnston / Glendale Public Library
