Ameland is much recommended.

Grass airstrip only 10 mins walk from the village. There you can hire bikes, have lunch in the Eetcafe next door, or go slightly further upmarket and eat the the Hotel Nobel just around the corner.
After lunch, you can cycle through the dunes to a great almost deserted beach.

If the Dutch airforce are not busy, you can route along the other islands and do your strafing practice on the tanks on Vlieland.

Just be aware: you cannot land in Ameland directly from the UK due to the Schengen agreement, and they have no fuel for visiting aircraft.
