Lydd is a strange place. One radio operator last year was difficult to understand but arriving by helicopter is easy enough if you come in over the golf course and depart that way.
I haven't tried the cafe but the best part for me was having to go and pay the landing fee. Just seeing the girl behind the desk makes the trip worthwhile but maybe I shouldn't say that. (very petite and quite cheeky, with dark hair and fantastically painted fingernails!) Don't know her name.
Airport itself looks pants from the outside.
