Fire investigators to continue work at airfield
Old Sarum AirfieldAn investigation into the cause of a blaze at a Grade II*-listed World War One aircraft hangar will continue this week.
The fire broke out at the Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on Thursday evening.
It destroyed the hangar and the neighbouring restaurant and cafe.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said on Friday its investigations "are likely to carry on well into next week".
The service has been approached for further comment by the BBC.
Fire crews left the scene on Friday afternoon with only some "wisps of smoke rising from the rubble" remaining, it said.
GoSkydive, a skydive group which is based at the airfield, said the fire is "devastating" for the community.
A spokesperson from the Save Old Sarum group, which has been campaigning to prevent development on the airfield land, said it was "deeply saddened by the fire at Hangar 3".
The fire broke out just a week after developers - Old Sarum Airfield Ltd - were given the go-ahead for up to 315 homes to be built there following a battle for permission.
