JANUARY ZTST, 1943 FLIGHT 61 Oxford The Oxford at the bottom of the page has not yet received its official mark number. It has Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah XV engines with the new Rotol, fully-feathering, two-bladed airscrew which was described in our issue of July 30, 1942. For these photographs this new type was being flown by Mr. R. E. Clear. They are self-explanatory, but it is interest- ing to note in the bottom left-hand picture that the star- board airscrew is stopped and fully feathered. The Airspeed Oxford has been the standard twin-engined trainer of the Royal Air Force for several years, and is one of the few training types to have seen operational service. As a light bomber it carries two 250-lb. bombs on external racks. The Latest Editions of the Standard R.A,F. Twin-engined Trainer in the Hands of Two Airspeed Test Pilots
