TWO people were injured when a light aircraft crashed on take-off at an Oxfordshire airfield.

The crew aborted the take-off and the aircraft hit a bank at RAF Weston-on-the-Green, on Saturday, April 13.

The 13 people on board were going on a parachute jump with the RAF Sport Parachute Association, which is based at the airfield.

The plane crashed into a Second World War air raid shelter. The two injured were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.

The parachute instructors give tandem jumps to people wanting to raise money for charity.
