Manston Airport

[Garry Russell]

It's been dicey for it seems as long as I can remember.

However the RAF kept it going, but after they left a few attempts have been made to use it but they failed.

MK Cargo Airlines and EUJet are just 2 that immediatley come to mind.

Historically there was Invicta and Air ferry, very successful for their time.

You'd think a large airport in the SE with a very wide runway for safe emergency landings would bee seen as a must preserve asset.

Fingers in pies???

Hi Gents,

Well i have heard it all now,

Can you believe a Nuclear Power station down the coast from the airport and they say it's not a problem, Bloody hell it's enough to make you weep!

Now we know why Manston has closed.

Roger.
