A VLA map at 1.4 GHz is presented of NGC 3309, one of a pair of giant elliptical galaxies dominating the centre of the Hydra cluster (Abell 1060). The galaxy shows an S-shaped radio source similar to M84 in Virgo and NGC 708 in Abell 262. The small size and low luminosity of these radio sources could be due to a recent tidal interaction responsible for their S-shape.
