Agree Manston should never have been closed or sold for a pittance! East Kent needs an airport to divert freight away from London and also for passenger flights, not only short haul. Infrastructure needs a rail link on to the Ramsgate - Canterbury line (use by "high" speed in practice at least from Ashford - St. Pancras.) A better idea (though longer) to reinstate the original link from Birchington - Manston. I have lived under the flight path for the last seventy years and will be delighted to see Manston reopended (As will many of many colleagues.)
