Police are also reissuing their appeal for witnesses following a large fire at Old Sarum airfield on April 17th.

The fire broke out just after 6 pm in a partially derelict wartime hangar. The hangar, known as Hangar 3, and the adjoining cafe were destroyed, and the building used by another business was severely damaged.

An investigation is still underway to determine the cause of the fire, and police would like to speak with anyone who was in the area shortly before the fire started.

They would like anyone who recorded the fire to send it through to us, including those who were nearby and not necessarily at the scene itself.

If you can help with enquiries, please email footage to: 70382@wiltshire.police.uk

You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
