Airfield fire devastating for community says firm

by Oliver

A skydive group says a fire which ripped through a Grade II*-listed World War One airfield hangar is "devastating" for the community.

Investigations are ongoing into the huge blaze that broke out at the Old Sarum Airfield on Lancaster Road in Salisbury on Thursday evening.

The blaze completely destroyed a hangar and the adjacent restaurant and cafe. GoSkydive, based at the airfield, said it had also spread to their premises and the firm had cancelled all skydiving activities while safety checks were carried out.

It said "while the damage is only partial, safety is and always will be our absolute priority".
