Prototype Airspeed Oxford, the "3" was from the New Types exhibition at the 18th RAF Display at Hendon on 26 June 1937. Press photo from my collection - photographer Charles E Brown. The aircraft survived until written off (damaged beyond repair) on 22 May 1943 when serving with No. 15 (P) AFU it crashed on landing at RAF Ramsbury, Wiltshire. No injuries reported among the crew of two.

New Types Park, 1937 RAF Display. K5115 was the first prototype of the Henley, then a light bomber. K5604 / 7, on the left, is a Gloster F.5/34 monoplane fighter. K7555 / 5 is the Fairey P.4/34, which led to the Fulmar fighter. K8887 / 4 is an Airspeed Queen Wasp target aircraft and behind it is the Oxford prototype L4534 / 3. In the foreground is the DH.91 Albatross prototype E.2, which initially had its twin tailfins mounted close to the fuselage and not as endplates.

Although you wouldn't guess it, the Queen Wasp was designed as a pilotless target aircraft, with a single-seat enclosed cockpit for ferry flights. The second AS.30, K8888, was a seaplane variant for the Royal Navy. Only a few production aircraft were built. This looks like Hendon and K8887 is known to have taken part in the RAF Display shortly after its first flight on 11 June 1937, featuring in the programme as New Type number 4.
