Did anyone else notice when they showed the caravan stunt, Richard in his Lamborghini drove past St.Neots power station and then next he was in Suffolk - amazing, a time travelling Lambo!
Yes I thought it was the Tesco roundabout, if hamster had popped into the nearby used car lot they would perhaps have offered him £2k for the Lambo 
The airship never went anywhere near Kent, Suffolk or the other places they mentioned.
It went from Cardington Airship Hangers straight to the pre-arranged arrival at Eltisley Village green.

BBC film crew frantically raced to the scene to check whether James May and the rest of the crew were injured.
They were unable to reach the airship but a helicopter filming the stunt gave them the all clear.
Emergency services were on stand-by but were not needed.
The stunt was believed to be the end of a race between James May in an airship and co-presenter Richard Hammond in a Lamborghini.
But the fading light and windy weather meant filming had to be called off and the stunt, for a programme in November, could not be repeated.
"I was walking through the village and suddenly this giant airship appeared carrying a caravan, it was a very strange sight," said Peter Clarke, 37, from Eltisley.
"I understand they were planning to land on the village cricket green in the middle of a match.
"All the cricketers were there dressed in their whites waiting for it to appear, but it started drifting off in the wrong direction.
"I think the film crew were a bit fed up as they'd been hanging around the village all day waiting for the wind to drop so they could film."
It is not the first time a stunt has gone wrong on Top Gear. Presenter Richard Hammond suffered serious injuries in 2006 after a risky car stunt went wrong.
