We have been Thanet residents all our lives, and when Manston started a passenger service we were so pleased. It meant we were able to travel to Newcastle and Edinburgh to see our families without the extra miles added to our journey having to travel to Gatwick or Heathrow. We lived in the Nethercourt area of Ramsgate, directly under a flight path when cargo planes flew over and it caused us no problems at all.The withdrawal of all services from Manston is a great shame, particularly given its past history during World War 2 and after.We support the association to save Manston as an airport
