As a former Royal Netherlands Air Force NCO who served at RAF laarbruch in Germany, I found out what it mend for the local area when, after closing down, it was turned into a international civilian airport. (MUNSTER/WEEZE). It changed from an almost unknown part of the country (bordering The Netherlands) with high unemployment, hardly any infrastructure, housing and shopping, into the opposite, with thousands of people in work and many thousands using the airport. I'm sure the same will happen here if Manston is made operational again. Not only will it be a total improvement for Kent but also by helping as an overflow for surrounding airfields or for emergencies. Thank you.
