I believe that Manston is of strategic national importance as an airfield. I live and farm within 3KM of the airfield and have done so since 1983. Both of my parents had private pilot licenses and my grandfather, in whose home I live in, was a fighter pilot in WW1. I believe that Manston should once again be used as an airport, if not for passenger flights then at least for cargo. Apart from its national strategic significance it represents an economic potential in an area with rather limited prospects.
