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.

Re: The DDK Nationals
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.
