A fire at a historic motoring and aviation centre on a former airbase in Oxfordshire has been brought under control.

The blaze, initially tackled by 10 crews, broke out at Bicester Motion, Buckingham Road on the site of RAF Bicester, a former bomber station on Thursday at about 18:30 BST.

Advice for those living nearby to remain indoors and shut all windows in place overnight has now been lifted, along with road closures.

Bicester Motion, home to more than 50 specialist businesses focused on classic car restoration and engineering, has thanked the emergency services. They said the site will be closed today and over the weekend.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said four crews remain at the scene along with support appliances including a hydraulic platform and a water carrier.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
