As mentioned Cosford is a complete non-starter in terms of space among other things....
Alconbury would be great......but you'd have the same issue as Fairford with no-on base parking dictate from USAFE no doubt.
Still reckon Boscombe is best bet location wise.
With the only RAF Battle of Britain day at Leuchars, and Waddington covering the middle of the country, RIAT really needs to be in the south IMHO.
