Emergency crews were called tonight after reports that a light aircraft had crashed into woods.
The plane lost contact with air traffic control at Oxford Airport at about 5.09pm. It was thought to be four miles away from the runway.
It is believed the plane, a PA34 Piper Seneca, crashed into the Wytham Great Woods, at Wytham, near Botley, Oxford.
It has been confirmed by Kidlington-based AirMed that the plane was being flown by one of the company's senior pilots.
The pilot, who has not been named, is an Oxfordshire man and is believed to be the only person on board the aircraft. His condition is not known.
