See how the time goes, we may drop in on our return flight from Duxford. Give all the jolly glider-types at Tibenham a chance to put their toys away.

The event is open to all and from just £10 passengers can enjoy three thrilling laps of racetrack experience around Snetterton race circuit, choosing from an impressive line up of classic cars, performance cars, racing cars and supercars.There are over 150 cars already confirmed including an exclusive opportunity to ride in the newly launched Lotus Exige S, an extremely rare Lexus LFA, a Lamborghini LP640 Murcielago Roadster, a Ferrari F430, an Aston Martin V12 Vantage, a Caterham 7 and a Gordon Keeble from 1964.

Ah, not a fly-in option then?

Cars are fine, they just aren't as good as proper transport.

Have fun DJ
