Be grateful, boyz and gurls, that somebody is spending some money on a GA airport, rather than selling it to a property shark.
Especially in the part of the country referred to here (the South East).
The great shame with Lydd is that it is in the middle of a wilderness called Kent, from which not many people have come out alive
Personally I couldn't care less if Shoreham or whatever wants to destroy unattended baggage, or makes one wear yellow jackets. The financial reality for airports which GA pilots have traditionally regarded as their own is that they can't make money from the declining PPL training activity (and allowing more schools to set up just causes the schools to go bust sooner) and there aren't enough people doing burger runs either. So they are trying to get some regular business, which means commercial services. The alternative is to shut the airport and sell up.
Shoreham's particular problem is that the shortage of hangarage prevents people with decent planes (the sort who would fly often, on business) basing there. The hangars there appear to be full of planes many of which rarely fly.
