Having moved into the area from outer London, I was so pleased to find a ‘working’ airport. The convenience of both its position and distance from my home was a real bonus, when I needed to travel! I was devastated when it was forced to close and, as a regular driver, I was horrified to learn that it was the intention to build about 2000 new homes on the land. The roads just cannot cope now. It is my hope that Manston would be restored to its former glory and become a functioning airport once more.
