Airspeed Oxford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Oxford, built to Specification T.23/36, was based on Airspeed's commercial 8-seater Envoy III, seven of which had been modified for the South African Air Force as the "Convertible Envoy", equipped with a single machine-gun in a hand-operated Armstrong Whitworth dorsal turret for training air-gunners. 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. The Oxford was used to prepare complete aircrews for RAF's Bomber Command and as such could simultaneously train pilots, navigators, bomb aimers, gunners, or radio operators on the same flight. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Airspeed_Oxford   (709 words)
