This Oxford was built in 1940 and after an initial storage period had a fairly undistinguished wartime service. In May 1946 it was sold to Boulton Paul, registered as G-AHTW and flew sporadically as general communications aircraft. By the 1970s the plane had become unairworthy, due to glue deterioration in its wooden construction, and it is now on display in AirSpace at IWM Duxford.

First time for me to see and photograph an autogiro. Autogiros have rotors instead of wings but unlike helicopters they are not powered so unable to hover. The rotor spins around as the autogiro is driven forward by the propeller and generates lift. Autogiros were used by the RAF to check and/or calibrate radar stations as they were able to fly in very tight circles. Indeed at one point the RAF's Radar Calibration Unit was based at Duxford for some time during WWII. Previously G-ACUU
