Witnesses described hearing multiple explosions as a huge blaze ripped through a former RAF base near Bicester Village last night.
Clouds of dense black smoke could be seen for miles - with the local police chief describing the inferno at Bicester Motion in Oxfordshire as an 'awful situation'.
Fire and ambulance crews rushed to the motoring and aviation heritage site, which is home to around 50 specialist businesses, at around 6.40pm last night.
Around 10 fire crews are understood to have been fighting the blaze, which is now 'under control' but remains ongoing this morning.
Locals were urged to avoid the area, as well as being advised to remain indoors and close their windows 'until further notice'.
