No public transport synced to KLM landings/departures from Ms Gloag's Stagecoach business. A high speed road connection via Crispe Road & Acol for non-Fanitarians? Finally if you wanted a taxi to Ramsgate Stn [nearest Rail connection] a gent behind a desk in Manston reception would ring for a taxi on his mobile. Fanit business at it's peak of inability! In fact the desolate place with a few lumps of iron chucked in, would make good setting for a remake of Planet of the Apes!<br /><br />It was better as a US Airforce base. Noisy, Plenty of spenders, and rumour had it that there was dramatic decrease in the Manston cat population. A possible Badger cull inline with HMG's objectives comes to mind! Add in a GI going berserk and getting shot on Ramsgate beach causing a stir of excitement in the turgid town. No complaints either.

The way the airport would make money is from the car parking and the percentage of money made in the shops and outlets in the airport. The money just from a few flights alone is nothing.

That drive compares favourably against Londons other airports such as heathrow (30 mins) gatwick , stansted Southend (60 mins) and city (15 mins). <br /><br />I think that Ryanair and Easyjet just need to be told about manston and it's bound to take off! Surely they must have never heard of it over the past ten years otherwise they'd be flying from there right? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-15112072535693527182014-04-12T19:12:17.202+01:002014-04-12T19:12:17.202+01:00There's a big difference between The Eden proj...There's a big difference between The Eden project and The Turner.<br />The Eden project charges over £20 per adult whereas the Turner is a drain on the tax payer to the tune of over £2 millions a year and many of the 400,000 a year visitors to the Turner only go in to use the toilets.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-68457382805325621102014-04-12T09:57:55.218+01:002014-04-12T09:57:55.218+01:00Anon at 9:41.

Sne appeared to be proposing the formation of an EU Air Force. If this should come about then an excellent base is Manston. <br /><br />Manston is close to the continent, has a suitable runway. Noise would not be that that much of a problem. The necessary low level night flying training would take place mainly over the sea. Sonic booms would be inevitable, but one soon grows accustomed to these. I for one would not object to the storing of battlefield nuclear weapons at Manston. Yes, Manston would be a good choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-31894450338040486992014-04-12T08:50:57.337+01:002014-04-12T08:50:57.337+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Holyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284672912775316883noreply@blogger.com
