Lockheed Hudson - Blueprints

To assist with the manufacture of missing and damaged components and structure in the Hudson, the AWM purchased a copy of original Lockheed blueprints on Microfilm.  Digitisation of the blueprints for ease of reference has commenced, and they are providing invaluable information for most areas in the airframe.  The blueprints contain the original dimensions and material specifications of each individual item used to build the aircraft. 

Once printed, the blue print is used to accurately replicate the component. The two supports shown below were badly  twisted and corroded.  Two replica items were accurately produced using the blue prints, and the original damaged items.
