What about an air museum? As an example the Avro museum near Manchester airport allows car clubs to get their cars photogrpahed with the Vulcan they have. There are also others too that may be more central.
It’s not sold out yet. And maybe we could ask for a dedicated area as PcGb used to do? Or, like we did with the Goodwood Breakfast Club, meet up beforehand, drive in as one and park up as one. I mean - just how many are we likely to be?

And as Ian said - he knows the event manager there. Could you make a tentative inquiry anyway Ian?

I think any 'National' get-together would need to be much further north ...

Centre of the UK is meant to be Dunsop Bridge north of Manchester! Nobody lives there...

Centre of England was always argued over - Morton in Derbyshire or Meriden in Warwickshire...

I reckon it's Lostwithiel, but others may argue.
