Hudson
VH-EWS probably at Tamworth in 1958 soon after the aircraft was converted
for aerial survey. Note the name George Vincent in honour of
the NSW Surveyor-General. The door to the nose baggage compartment has
been fixed shut and its handle removed. The nose transparency appears
to have been custom-made as it is shorter than the standard Hudson unit.
During its previous service as an airliner there were no windows in
the nose.
