Airspeed AS.10 Oxford production photographs

There is a downloadable few pages from a wartime engineers magazine available. It is an article covering a few pages and discusses the Oxford production with pictures.

We downloaded it about 5 years ago and I passed the copy to Bob at D&G as he was working on an Oxford.

I cant remember what the name was – but it came up on a google search back then.

Other wise contact Bob Sloane.

I had the Newnes as a set of weeklies given to me by our then N.A.C. Chief Engineer at Rongotai (Wellington) except it was missing two issues. Many years later, when on layover in Brisbane, I found a second hand book store and went in to browse. There, in the aviation section, were my two missing issues!! I have now had them bound in to a three volume edition. I recently was offered 4 of the original six part version and was able to buy the remaining two from Brian Cocks up in Petersborough, and he was also able to supply the 56 Data Sheets, complete with folder. They are my bible of aeronautical knowledge from the thirties.

Thank you for that Mark.

I have some of the Newnes books ( though keen to collect the rest). As for the thread, I have just taken a look and they are definitely the type of photographs I am after. Gives me a better idea than just the drawings I am working from.

Regards,
Dave.

Newnes Aero Engineering is a pre-war 39 part weekly booklet and often found in a 3 volume hard cover set and has a number of chapters on aircraft production that use the Oxford as the subject.

It comes up occasionally on ebay, or from specialist bookshops

Seperately, and I think in the last 2 years, someone posted a set of UK wartime production photos here in KP that included a large number of Oxford factory photos.
