Manston is rare national and local strategic resource. The development of a civil airport would add tremendously to the jobs of the area. And in times of national emergency it can accommodate heavy load bombers and would be key in the forward movement of troops in the European and Middle Eastern theatres of war. Its dual capabilities would be lost in an average housing project which could be conducted elsewhere.
