Ive only ever been to lydd once... seemed to be a bit out in the middle of no where ... just before a quick 15 min trip to L2K..
But on my return home, at almost 5pm on a friday night, I had a fouled spark plug/mag drop on power checks - and the resident engineer took time out of his locking up, to not only diagnose the problem, clean all my plugs, but to natter and chat for ages. I was very pleased that even so late on a friday afternoon that he was willing to help a non-resident visitor out, and even refused some cash in hand beer money for his trouble!
Ever grateful for that guy.
