I've lived in Ramsgate for over 5 years now and remember how disturbing it was when Manston Airport was still.operational. The planes flew so low, that the noise was really powerful and one had to stop whatever one was doing and wait for it to pass. The vibrations caused by planes damaged our chimney which required a costly repair. And that was with just a handful of flights a day, all in daytime. With more flights and especially with night flights, I can not imagine living (and ever sleeping) where we are. Also in recent years Ramsgate has become a draw for tourists and artists. Frequent low flying planes would surely kill it all off. I'm concerned not only that people will stop coming to Ramsgate if the airport gets reopened, but also that a lot of us Ramsgatians will be forced to move.
