Airspeed Oxford Trainer Port Authority Embroidered Premium Sherpa Blanket

The Airspeed Oxford, a marvel of its time, served as a pivotal training aircraft before and during the Second World War. With its first flight in 1937, it quickly became a cornerstone in the training programs of the Royal Air Force and other air forces within the Commonwealth. Designed by Airspeed Ltd, the Oxford was versatile, operating as an advanced trainer for pilots, navigators, and bomb aimers. Its adaptability didn't stop there; it was also used for light transport duties. Throughout its operational years, the Oxford was known for its reliability and was affectionately nicknamed the 'Ox-box'. It played a crucial role in preparing crews for the demands of wartime aviation, making it an unsung hero of the air. Over 8,500 units were built, a testament to its significance and the high regard in which it was held by the military aviation community.
