	Airspeed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airspeed refers to the speed of an aircraft in relation to the air; it is nearly always different from groundspeed, the speed of the aircraft in relation to the ground.
		Airspeed is important because it determines the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.
		Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the speed as measured by the aircraft's sensors, and often displayed on the airspeed indicator.

		The Airspeed AS10 Oxford was a twin-engine aircraft used for training British Commonwealth aircrews in navigation, radio-operating, bombing and gunnery during World War II.

		In addition to training duties, Oxfords were used in communications and anti-submarine roles and as ambulances in the Middle East.

	Airspeed Oxford
		Known to hundreds of RAF and RAAF aircrew as the "Ox-box", the Oxford first appeared in 1937 as a military development of the 1934 Envoy feeder-liner, and was the first twin-engined monoplane trainer in the Royal Air Force.
		The first Oxfords joined the Central Flying School in November 1937, and by the time of the outbreak of World War 2 nearly 400 were in service.
		Although used most widely in its intended role as aircrew trainer, the Oxford gave valuable service on communications and anti-aircraft co-operation duties, and was also used in some numbers as an ambulance, particularly in the Middle East.

	Ramsbury at War
		At around 14:00 hours the pilot of Oxford T-1371, 1st Lt. John Echols, taxied the aircraft to the end of runway 260 and readied himself for the short flight to Welford.
		The pilot selected full throttle in an attempt to gain flying speed and as he neared the first glider he pulled back on the control column and the aircraft lifted itself about five feet into the air.
		However, because the Oxford was moved before the crash investigation began, this claim could not be verified and pilot error due to poor judgement was recorded as the prime cause of the accident.

		The Oxford was similar to the earlier Envoy and served at Waddington with Station Flight and 6 (later renamed 1506) Beam Approach Training Flight, who's role was to train pilots in the use of a WW2 navigation aid installed at most large stations.
		It was quite difficult to fly and the feeling was that a pilot who could handle the Oxford would have no trouble with the bomber and transport aircraft of the time.
		The Oxford was also used for air ambulance, radar calibration, anti-aircraft cooperation and communication, the latter role more extensively after the war.
