Manston should remain an airport as it is already in situ and can be brought up to operational readiness with not too much trouble. If it's lost for good, the expense of acquiring a new site and developing into an airport would be astronomical assuming a suitable site could be found. With the impending Brexit looming we as a nation cannot predict our future import requirements and our needs to access other world markets..I feel that it would be a grave error of judgment to discard a perfectly viable national asset just to satisfy the greed of a few speculators. Even if it is not required straight away it is there for any future needs. George Scullion.
