In the South East Lydd EGMD gets a lot of Instrument training/testing traffic and seems to be regarded as a one stop shop.Also the GPS approaches are standalone with no other aids involved in the go around.

Yes I flew there few times to tick approach boxes, from North London it's the only place in SE actually, Cambridge/Cranfield are impossible to fly to, Norwich is far, but one can do Southend & Calais in one go but not many examiners are that keen
But there are few catches, Lydd is procedural in Class G, there are not that many slots, if it's IMC above 1000ft not many will FI/FE go train/test with no radar service in clouds (RHS need to lookout), you can't ask vectors on initial approach & missed if you don't have "solid pannel"...
The "solid pannel": you don't have ADF you are stuck on ILS missed, if you don't have GPS you are stuck on ROMTI hold, if you don't have DME you can't do DME arc on initial approach, voila, I am not sure how many people have the full set of ILS/VOR+ADF+LPV+DME fully working in their mounts? or rented aircrafts? but it's not a rosy picture across schools fleet, I used to rent one aircraft in North Weald that seems to have everything & working for the tests (I am afraid to use my aircraft ADF from 1960 during exam, my nearby Cirrus driver does the same when going to Lydd, he does not have ADF/DME
)
If one can do overlays for RNP that would at least make life easier every year for the typical GA pilots who are flying IFR from less ideal airfield in less ideal aircraft...
