I think it’s the same a/c. Panels varied a lot, and this is an ex Boulton Paul Hack, so I think it’s a bit non standard.

Anyone got good info on OxBoxes?

What does the notice hanging from the levers say? Or is that part x of the quiz?

And Bruce is the winner!

(As you shold be old bean. I saw you’d posted, and said to myself*, if he hasn’t got it, he’s going to get some stick.)

Duxford’s OxBox is a dH built machine as well, Bruce.

Cheers

Airspeed Oxford (V3388?) at Duxford

Clue (If I am right of course!!) – The Oxbox used a number of Mossie components, including the control column and other parts (might be the other way round!) Under the throttle quadrant is a mossie type gear and flap selector, hence my guess.
