Attn shoppers: Airspeed Oxford with U.S. (?) nose art

Sun Mar 01, 2020 11:22 pm

While scrounging through eBay I spotted this goodie, mis-identified as a Lodestar:

Found out the USAAF used some Airspeed Oxfords that were loaned by both the RAF and the RAAF, thus explaining the nose art, I think - can anyone verify?

Yes, the USAAF in the UK received quite a few Oxfords on loan from the RAF for taxi and comms duties until US aircraft such as the C-45, Norseman, Bobcat and UC-61 became available. The Oxford was roughly equivalent to the Bobcat but slightly bigger.
