Airspeed Oxford Mk.i/l! "Commonwealth Service''

Airspeed Oxford AS.10 was designed according to the T.23/36 specifications that called for twin-engined trainer and light transport aircraft. When designing this aircraft the company resulted from its AS.6 Envoy transport aircraft. The first prototype flew in June 19,1937. The mass production lasted until 1945 and 4411 machines of several versions were produced in total. The main versions were Mk.l without turret and Mk.ll with gun turret for gunners' training. Versions Mk.lil and Mk.IV were not mass produced. Version Mk.V powered by P&W R-985 engines was license produced in Canada. Airspeed Oxford was cantilever low-wing monoplane with semi- monocoque fuselage and wooden tail planes.The trainer should serve for gunners, navigators, radio operators and bombardiers training. Except of these roles it also served for maritime patrols, ambulance, light transport or light bomber aircraft. Called "Ox-Box" by ground personnel became the main twin-engined trainertype for Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) and British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). Thanks to this the airmen from Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other Commonwealth states were trained on this aircraft. The type also served as liaison in US Air Force based in Great Britain. Oxford was successfully exported before, during and especially after the war. Therefore the list of the states that purchased this aircraft very long. Randomly, France, Netherlands. Denmark. Turkey, Israel, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Norway, Finland or India. When the war has ended the Oxfords were modified to AS.65 Consul version intended for civil users.
