There's a renewed appeal from Wiltshire Police for footage of the huge fire at Old Sarum Airfield earlier this month.

The blaze started just after 6.00pm on Thursday 17th April and destroyed the Grade 2* listed Hangar 3, the popular café next door and badly damaged a building used by another business.

Officers say the cause of the incident is still being investigated, and they're again asking anyone who was in the area and has information to contact them.

Any footage from the scene, including from those who were nearby and not directly on the scene is being requested.

You can email to officers on 70382@wiltshire.police.uk

Anonymous reports can also be given to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
