Take a grass field (aerodrome) that fighters used in WWII and convert the mess barrack into a kind of terminal and you have a Lydd.
That's what Lydd was when I made my first ever flight in an aeroplane from there to Mulhouse back in 1957 on our way over to Austria!
An uphill, unpressurized DC3 it was and my ears hurt for two days after the flight
. Love the DC3 but you won't get me flying in one again---- no siree.
