The link to the old forum on network54.com no longer seems to work, try finding the message in the MLU Forum Archives. Art Johnson's reference to them was to post-war use in occupied Germany.

Personally I don't think they were actually used in combat during WW2.

The survivors I know about are located in China and the UK. Where are the other two you know of located?

Built in 1944 only a few saw service, most were used after the war. Art Johnson told us a while ago the Canadian 25th Brigade in Europe used Oxfords to tow 17 pdrs.
There is at least another survivor, I saw it in the metal some ten years ago but did not fully realise what it was...
