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.
