Manston has been an Airport for over 100 years, it should remain an active Airport. The local economy needs to be improved and more jobs need to be available. An active Airport would provide this. The Airport should not be run on a 'Freight only' basis, and Passenger flights (from any interested Parties should also be considered) - maybe a joint venture between R/O and others. The present runway is one of the longest in Britain and can handle Airlines to and from any part of the world. Manston could take the freight strain from both Heathrow & Gatwick, thus making 2nd or 3rd runways obsolete at either of these other two Major Airports. I look forward to seeing planes flying from Manston again.
