Production
Someone who can find out please clarify the production numbers, 2 contradictory figures are given within the first few sentences of this article. Justinmo 07:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * British Aircraft gives some 6,200 Oxford I, 2,200 Oxford II, and 200 Oxford V. Airspeed built about 5,000 of those,the rest by other manufacturers. GraemeLeggett 11:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * There is still a discrepancy of some 4,000 between the infobox and the text? Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by)    23:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * British Warplanes of World War II by Danuel J. March (1998, Aerospace Publishing) gives 4411 built by Airspeed itself at its Portsmouth factory (which is the only production figure I can spot in the article) 550 at Christchurch, 1515 by de Havilland at Hatfield, 1360 by Perceval at Luton and 750 by Standard Motors at Coventry, giving a total of 8586.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:25, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * These figures are confirmed in an article in the June 1980 issue of Aeroplane Monthly magazine.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

AS.10/AS.40
The Oxford is quoted with both the type/model number AS.10 and AS.40, anybody know at what point they changed. Most of the sources use AS.10 or AS.40 sometimes for the same aircraft ! but with no explanation. MilborneOne 20:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Survivors
There are number of bits and pieces of airframes in private collections, but little evidence online to confirm they exist (aside from unreliable forum postings). Any suggestions on how to handle this situation would be appreciated. MP455, PK286, ED290, MP425, and V3388 are all complete and can be confirmed to be in major museums. In addition, NZ1332 and R6029 are confirmed to exist and are reasonably complete. These airframes can be easily said to be included in this section. The others are up for debate.


 * I moved the above comment by User:Noha307 from the article. MilborneOne (talk) 17:03, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

We dont normally list bits and pieces (or cockpits) if any whole aircraft have survived unless they are otherwise notable for some reason. So I wouldnt worry about bits and bobs as they shouldnt be included. MilborneOne (talk) 17:07, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for moving my comment. I started writing it and it got so long I wasn't sure if it was better served being on the talk page. I decided against it, but I'm glad that you realized it should go here instead. –Noha307 (talk) 00:17, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
