Thought you guys might find this interesting:
Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome and Proving Ground is a privately owned airport in Leicestershire near the village of Bruntingthorpe. It was opened as RAF Bruntingthorpe in 1942.
The United States Air Force used Bruntingthorpe during the 1950s and 1960s as a heavy bomber base. The base became privately owned in 1972, developing into grounds suitable for high-performance car testing. Various circuits are available, utilising the former runway, just under 2 miles (3 km) long.
A Cold War aircraft museum also exists on-site, holding over a dozen jets used in various roles during the era. The museum is open on Sundays, and the aircraft will sometimes be brought out and run down the runway for special occasions. The most notable aircraft at the aerodrome is the Avro Vulcan XH558, that has been restored to airworthy condition. The first flight of the restored aircraft took place at Bruntingthorpe on 18 October 2007. It is planned to fly the Vulcan at airshows in the UK for the next 15 years before being retired to the Imperial War Museum Duxford.
As well as car testing, Bruntingthorpe offers storage of cars and aircraft, film production facilities, and military/civilian defence testing. Within the airport is a repair facility for Ferraris and Maseratis.
But then again...you might not
