There's been a near miss between a light aircraft and a drone in Oxfordshire.

Thames Valley Police say it happened north-west of Bletchingdon as a light aircraft was approaching London Oxford Airport near Kidlington on the afternoon of Monday the 22nd July.

Police say there could've been 'fatal consequences' if the drone had collided with the aircraft as it was coming in to land. Only the pilot was onboard.
