When Manston was operating, we, my wife and I, used it many times , and found it excellent, a handy, easy way to travel. Also, on a broader scale, why on earth build an expensive, disruptive new runway at Heathrow, mainly for freight, when we have all this facility at our disposal . Large amounts of money have been spent upgrading all the roads leading to this airport, so why not use it for what it was built for. When I was in business in Dover and Sandwich, we had many customers fly into Maston for demo,s etc. This helped a great deal to further the business particually in regard to exports.
