Ex-RAF Oxford Mk.II V3775. Delivered to the Belgische Luchtmacht (Belgian Air Force) in June 1947. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 12.6.1958 when crashed at Liège-Bierset AB: The pilot of Airspeed Oxford O-11 lost control of his aircraft on take off. The aircraft seems to have ground looped after the starboard undercarriage collapsed. In view of its age, the Oxford was not repaired. Not casualties reported.
