On display at IWM Duxford. The Oxford with its all-wooden airframe based on the Airspeed Envoy was ordered in numbers as the RAF's standard twin-engine trainer with a retractable undercarriage. The type could be fitted with a dorsal turret for gunnery training. This Oxford was built in 1940. It spent most of the war in storage at Maintenance Units at RAF Wroughton and Little Rissington. In May 1946 the Oxford was sold to Paul-Boulton Aircraft, which used it for communications as G-AHTW over fourteen years. It went to Skyfame Aircraft Museum and was the last of its kind to fly anywhere. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
