I live in Thanet and am a Private Pilot I want to show how the scheme will benefit light aviation in the UK and in particular in the South East where there is a shortage of hanger space and many other airfields have closed or are under threat. I also am aware of the employment benefits airports provide. I also want to be able to fly to Scotland and other places from Manston because having a local airport will reduce journey time for me and wish to register my interest in using a reopened Manston for this purpose. I am sure that many other professional representatives have and will make these points better than I, but I wish to show that I am a local, strongly and in support the application and with a considered view.
