Aviation Photo #0696728 Airspeed AS-10 Oxford II - UK - Air Force

Very few good shots of this aircraft in flight, very nice the copyright owner has allowed us use of this for our remembrance page to an aircrew member on the aircrew remembrance society site.

Hi, I am writing a family history of my father and mother. Dad was a pilot in Transport Command in WWII who trained in Saskatchewan in 1939. To quote the book, "In June 1942 he took Blind Approach Training (B.A.T.) using the Lorenz Beam blind-landing navigation system, invented in Germany in the 1930s, in the Airspeed AS.10 Oxford (known colloquially as the ‘Ox-box’) which was a twin-engine aircraft used for instructing aircrews in navigation, radio-operating, bombing and gunnery. The advantage of the aircraft lay in its capability to train entire crews in the same plane at the same time, which had the considerable advantage of creating teamwork and familiarity with one another." I would like to include this beautiful photo in my book, which is written as a legacy to my family, with your permission.

Dear Alan DR Brown,
I am writing a book about an incident from 1941 when an Airspeed Oxford 11 collided with a Wellington 1c over Nottinghamshire, killing all eight crewmen. My uncle was an U/T Pilot on the Oxford. I am writing to ask permission to use your photograph of the Oxford in my book, provisionally entitled What Happened, to be self-published under the imprint of Another Small Press. Although I have already begun tracing members of families from both aircraft I am hoping that the publication of the book will lead to more contacts being made, and am in discussions for a memorial to be erected to both crews in the church near the crash site. I would be most grateful if you would give permission for me to use your photograph, which would of course receive full acknowledgement, Regards, Adrian Bean
