1: The place just looks bad!
2: Awful Runway and even worse taxiways
3: Miserable FISOs - The Biggin ATCO being the notable exception (is he still there)
4: I've never been there and had the NDB and airfield DME working at the same time (only been there a few times I may add!)
5: Delusions of grandeur! Desperatly want to reinstate a full ATCS despite the fact they sold their ILS to Bournemouth and never repaired their posh radar when it blew into the sea. What kind of management sells off its gear then decides it wants everything back!
6: More delusions of grandeur. They want the London TMA lowered and a Class D control zone around there international airport. Amazingly enough the proposals for this were NOT recieved on April 1st.
7: A little expensive - 14 quid is incredible! for what??? cheaper than Fairoaks though!
The place is just an unkempt dump. I wouldn't want my identity to be revealed. Which is a shame - I have some lovely CAA stories about Lydd!
