Avoid Lydd
Anybody know anything about Lydd Airport?
I went in there last year en-route from the US to South Africa.
When I was reconciling the accounts after the trip I found that Lydd had charged GBP300 for an after hours fee!
Acording to my reconing I actually arrived in time but was asked to circle for 5 mins due to a vehicle being on the runway, this delay putting me after hours by a matter of a few minutes.
I have subsequently tried repeatedly to communicate with these people by Email, mail and facsimile....all to no avail, no-one has ever replied.
The total bill for my visit to Lydd was a wopping GBP1178.70, not bad for a C500 !!!
I will avoid Lydd in future.
