I am very much against Manston airport being used as a housing estate or likewise. We live very near the airport, reopening would mean more jobs in the area. Less people unemployed and using the airport for what it was always intended. My husband's father and grandfather flew out of the airport in the first and second world war . His grandfather was station commander for two weeks in the first world war. This is very close to our hearts and we would fight tooth and nail to have it used for what it was built for - An Airport. It has the longest runway in the country, please, please lets get it re opened. We would use it all the time. We fly regularly to Spain etc .
