Plane Crazy: 737 Tests at Lydd Airport
26 Feb 2007
On Saturday, Lydd Airport tested the take off and touch down of a 737 aircraft at Lydd Airport to show the impact the plane would have on the local area. Although the plane was not fully loaded, the pictures taken from Dunes Road, at the foot of the runway, show how close the plane would come to local houses. Lydd Airport has offered no compensation to the owners of houses in Dunes Road for its proposed runway extension, despite the threat of 3 planes an hour over their houses.
