Shameless request for aircraft design.

Stinger2K2 · 07-01-2002, 03:07 PM

Hi all and especially those wonderful
aircraft designers amongst you.

I have had a go at aircraft design but found I was hopeless at it. My father-in-law is an avid simmer at 77 years old and I would love to give him a christmas present.

In world war two he signed up for the R.A.F and took a training
flight in an Airspeed Oxford. He was later refused entry into the Raf (as he lied about his age!) which is probably why he loves simming.

He constantly asks me to look for an FS2002 Airspeed Oxford
but nobody has made this aircraft yet. It would be fantastic
if some kind developer would like to have a go at something
a little different, and make my father-in-law's day into the bargain.

Please e-mail me if anyone is interested and of course
I will assist wherever I can in gaining info about the aircraft.

regards
Stinger

Can you post a pic of the Airspeed Oxford??? Being from the States I've never heard of that particular model. Also any designer would need some 3 view drawings to work from also

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jul-02-02 AT 11:05AM (EDT)[/font][p]Hello, Stinger,
I've been tempted by the Oxford (and its sibling Anson) several times now. This might be the crucial push.
It would be a GMax project, directly behind the Lesher Teal I'm perhaps 1/4 way with at the moment.
There are small 3-views and also a color drawing of the Oxford in Enzo Angelucci's "Rand McNally Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft 1914-1980."
Also, like just about any aircraft, a Google search is likely to raise something or other.
I'll let you know if this project comes to pass.
Regards.

Hi Dennis,

That would be fantastic. Please let me know if you decide to have a go, and of course if I can lend a hand in any way, do
ask.

best
