There is a Douglas DC-3 (N47TB) in USAF colours currently on the ground at CVT having arrived from PIK.
Maybe badwolf will be there to capture it?
Here's a video of a Gloster Meteor from a few months ago.

I don't know what goes on at CVT these days, I did stop there once on a flight from LPL to GCI in a Metroliner, Air Atlantique. Long time ago now.

Not sure how representative it is, but by the looks of things it would be massive. Can't see any of the locals approving of such a large structure.
Could give Boeing a run for its my by taking the title of largest usable volume:

Is the car battery plant at Coventry Airport still going ahead? It all seems to have gone very quiet.

Some interesting aircraft there. BAF Carvair, several DC3s and a Constellation. Air fields are not as varied these days generally.
