Dave Powell of the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum sent me pix of two Hudson crashes they were endeavouring to get rights to. One, a brown-green one, is definitely in Newfoundland and I think from the gist of his comments so is the other, which is grey-green. I had a follow-up from him to the effect that when they next visited the brown one somebody had hacked the roof out and removed it.
There was some hassle about indian reserve rights and their being able to recover the aircraft and I can't say if they ever got to them.
I can't seem to post images here if you're interested let me know the tricks and I'll put them up.
