Manston should be reopened to provided an aviation asset in Kent. This will provide much needed jobs and boist the local econony. Why not use Manston instead of extending Heathrow? This would a little if disruption and misery to those on the path of the new Heathrow runway. Manston is also a famous WW2 airfield and is emotionally attached to local population. Such an asset is easy to get rid of but to replace it, would be almost impossible given the current economic climate. Being an avaitor myself I would love to see the airport reopened.
