First, I must thank Dave Carroll, for allowing me to adapt his Lockheed Hudson to CFS2, sharing his .FSC file, and providing research materials on the Lockheed Hudson.  He did a great of capturing the essence of the Lockheed Hudson, and though I have added details and parts for different sub-types, I have made relatively few corrections to the basic model.

Thanks to James Peach who painted the skins for this aircraft.  A special thanks to Jerry Beckwith of the "1% Guys" over at avhistory.org for all his efforts in creating an excellent .AIR and AIRCRAFT.CFG ile for this Lockheed Hudson model.  I think he has done an excellent job of capturing the feel of this aircraft.  Thanks to Gray ("High Mountain") for his work on the VC and 2D panels.  I am also indebted to Mike Wagner for allowing me to use his excellent gauges with this model.  Thanks to Guy Boullenger and Luca Mengotti for getting me involved in this project in the first place, and thanks to Daniel Leahy for providing information on RAAF Hudsons.  Thanks also to Guy Boullenger for including the Hudson in his Milne Bay Campaign, and encouragement and help with some of the "bits".   Thanks also to all the beta testers, with all their helpful comments and suggestions.  

I know I've forgotten some of you, but know that it was purely unintentional, it is just that so many folks have offered assistance, suggestions and encouragement that I am simply overwhelmed.

Any inaccuracies or errors are strictly my responsibility.
