A PILOT is in hospital after a plane crashed into a block of flats in Oxfordshire this afternoon. 

The light aircraft crashed into the flats, which are unoccupied, in Upper Heyford at around midday today. 

The pilot has 'several injuries' but nobody else has been injured. 

Thames Valley Police said that a small cordon is in place around the flats and that nobody has been evacuated yet. 

Here are pictures from the scene, taken by photographer Ed Nix:
