This Oxford was built in 1940 and after an initial storage period had a fairly undistinguished wartime service. In May 1946 it was sold to Boulton Paul, registered as G-AHTW and flew sporadically as general communications aircraft. By the 1970s the plane had become unairworthy, due to glue deterioration in its wooden construction, and it is now on display in AirSpace at IWM Duxford. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
