Airspeed Oxford Duxford 1:72 Diecast - Scale 1:72
Airspeed Oxford, nicknamed the 'Ox Box' can bee seen above your head when visiting Hangar 1 at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, where it has been since 2014. The plane was originally developed by Airspeed Ltd to an Air Ministry requirement for a training aircraft. It first took to the skies in 1937 and was used to train amongst others, the crews who were to become the pilot aces of Bomber Command.
Decorated in a dark brown and green camouflage scheme to the upper side, the underside is bright yellow featuring the V3388 numbering in black along the lower wings and fuselage. The RAF roundel also appears on upper and lower surfaces and the cockpit is green.
The Avro Anson was a British twin-engined aircraft that served with the RAF, Fleet Air Arm and some Commonwealth Air Forces before, during and after WWII. Developed from the Avro 652 airliner, the multi-role Anson Mk I was originally meant for maritime reconnaissance but after becoming obsolete in this role, it was found more suitable as a multi-engined aircrew trainer. It took its first flight in 1935, entered service in 1936 and was finally retired from the RAF as late as 1968. Over 11,000 were produced between its introduction in the 1930s and the end of production in 1952, just over 8000 in the UK and the remainder in Canada.
