Airspeed AS.65 Consul, part three, various Asian users

The Airspeed AS.65 Consul was a British twin-engined light airliner of the immediate post-war time. It was a conversion of the Airspeed As.10 Oxford military trainer surplus after the World War 2.
The type saw use with many airlines and air forces all around the globe and, on this post, we're going to cover the Asian ones:

• Burma: The Burmese Air Force got 7 aircraft that were supplied between September 1949 and February 1950. They were used as communications and light general transport aircraft. Two aircraft were bought by the Burmese Air Force in September 1949 from the Union of Burma Airways. Their fate and their looking are unknown, so the drawing should be considered as speculative.
• Indochinese Union: Various airlines operated the Consul in the French Colony of Indochina. One of them was the Société Aigle Azur (Blue Eagle Society) which operated five Consuls in Indochina. One of them was destroyed by the Viet Minh on 4th March 1954 at Gia Lam airport, in Hanoi.
  Another important airline which operated the type in this region was the Société Indochinoise de Transports Aeriens (Indochinese Air Transports Society) which was a company operated by the local colonial government. This company operated at least 14 machines, most of them based in Saigon, in local flights to Phnom Penh. Many of them were resold to minor companies like Société Indochinoise des Plantations Reunies de Minot. As both the graphical material and information of these machines serving with those companies is rather scarce, the drawings should be considered as speculative.
• India: Shortly after achieving independence, the government of India acquired four Consuls, although some sources claim it was two of them. They were assigned to Airways (India) Ltd. which was one of the forerunners of Air India. Many of them were also acquired by local Maharajahs as private transports. As we couldn't find photos of these planes in Indian service, the drawing should be considered as speculative.

Airspeed AS.10 Oxford, part two, Asian users

The Airspeed AS.10 Oxford was a British twin-engined monoplane developed and manufactured by Airspeed Ltd. It was initially conceived as a trainer variant of the Airspeed AS.6 Envoy until it quickly developed into a design of its own and saw wide use as a trainer before, during and after World War 2. It was exported to many Asian countries:

• Union of Burma: At least 15 Oxfords were supplied to the Union of Burma Air force just after its independence in 1948. Some of them were modified to carry pod-mounted forward-firing machine guns and rocket projectiles to be used in anti-insurgency operations.
• India: When India became independent in December 1947 nine Oxfords were transferred to the Royal Indian Air Force which later became Indian Air Force. 
• Israel: Three Oxfords (some sources claim they were four) were in inventory of the, back then, newly founded Central Flying School of the Israeli Defence Force Air Force. They were used, together with the Airspeed Consul, for twin-engined flight training in the early 1950s.
• Imperial State of Iran: Three Oxfords were delivered to the Imperial State of Iran Air Force back in 1938. 
• Ceylon: Three former RAF Oxfords were delivered to the Ceylon Air Force in 1953 (some sources claim it was in 1951). 
• Turkey: The Turkish Air Force was supplied in 1943 with 50 Oxford Mk.I. They were complemented with 20 more in 1946-1947. They served as the Turkish Air Force main twin-engined trainer until the early 1950s when they were replaced by the Beechcraft AT-11 Kansan. The remaining Oxfords were scrapped.
