Nice collection Paul.

I've always fancied going to Waddington. Is it difficult to get to?

On a map it looks like East Midlands is the closest airport but still a good 90 minute drive away.

Did you fly/rent or take a car across for the trip?

Hi Dec
 This year I made a bit of a road trip via Stranraer then down to Manchester then Waddington, Mildenhall, Heathrow and then Fairford but I have done Waddington via East Mids it's only about 50 miles I have also done it via Stanstead 120 miles with a stop off at Lakenheath/Mildenhall/Coningsby if you go to Waddington a visit to Conningsby or Fighter Town UK is a must.
