Originally known as Lydd Ferryfield but known today as London Ashford Airport, it is a regional airport on Romney Marsh in Kent, England, east of the town of Lydd and south of Ashford.
Lydd Airport was a pioneering UK regional airport built for all-weather operation and early air-ferry services. It experienced peak passenger activity in the late 1950s and early 1960s but declined as travel technology shifted. Over subsequent decades it has adapted to charter flying, freight and general aviation. Modern development plans aim to expand its capacity while balancing environmental and local concerns.

London Ashford Airport (Lydd) has an illustrious history.
The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened Lydd Airport on the 5th April 1956. It was the first new post WWII airport in the UK and was built in less than six months for just £400,000. Few people know that on his outward journey to Le Touquet in France the Duke exported two cars!
