Neil, sorry for confusing you. Carrier expert Nigel Watson writes about the Oxford: "Built in 1944 only a few saw service". In service could mean being used for training or as a test-bed (see Richard's remarks) - I still think it is unlikely any saw combat service.

My information on Bill's vehicles is about 7 years old but I assume he still has them.

I saw one of Bill Banister's Oxfords in the early nineties when I went there with a friend to buy his Ram Kangaroo. I did not realise what it was really so I did not take any pictures.
