A quick note to highlight a small discrepancy regarding Burmese Consuls. On Page 249 (military), it says that UBC.1 (ex XY-ABK) and UBC.2 (ex XY-ABI) were received c 9.49. On Page 272 (civil), it says that these two aircraft went to the UBAF in 11.49
Also, has anything more ever come to light about Burmese Oxfords? They got 15, but only these serials were known when the book was published in 2001: R6161 (18Nov48), T1101 (9Dec48), T1386 (13Oct48), V3746 (2Dec48), W6578 (19Dec48), W6638, X7135 (18Nov48), BM719 (16Dec48), ED173 (2Dec48).
