I support the reopening of Manston by Riveroak as an airport. Given the location in the South East of England, it seems criminal that the site hasn't been re-opened more recently, given the overcrowding of other airports in the region. Manston has the road links, and to nearby rail, to make the site the cargo link to mainland Europe by air that the region, and the country, needs.

Manston also holds significant historical relevance to the region, and preserving the airport as a working site should be of real importance.

Once airports are built on, they won't come back. Let's preserve this while we have the chance.
