The Doc is even funnier..Not only does he hang around and quote struck off solicitors, one of his MP chums/supporters has just been charged with a criminal offence by the Police...

When you're reading something lawyers wrote you need to be really careful... and most particularly so with that press statement they've put out.
I think it actually says that the company has the resources to make the application, not the resources to build the airport?

Dr Webber's academic credentials are certainly impressive and he has clearly undertaken some impressive work in the field of physics and thermo-dynamics. Seems a little light on the aviation front though..........

Priceless....Location......that would be a different type of sea & water lapping around half of the catchment area then....By the way Manston was struggling too until the owner/operator had the bright idea to start an airline!!..It could be well perceived that was gonna fail apart from the Manston supporters with finally Manston becoming the totally failed commercial airport it is....

Oh dear, what a sad life you must lead. Nothing better to do than be unpleasant for no reason?
Southend has a catchment of 1.5 million within 20 miles, it isn't in the middle of nowhere like a certain Bishop's Stortford International is, and East London is ten miles further on. It has its own railway station. In what way is its location inferior to Manston's?

Barling Magna.....Whoooa......Calm yourself man...You too might be to old to play the snowflake....so when is reality unpleasant & leads you to portray my life as sad?...pray do explain dear boy..... & its one of your invalid points isn`t it when Bishop`s Stortford International to use your own invective..(STN I guess you mean) & only as you mention it,far from being in the middle of nowhere as in your terming is actually an International Gateway for London & much much farther afield,it has more destinations to Europe than any other airport....& does not rely on a mere 1.5M catchment....in fact STN would regard SEN`s catchment as it own too I would imagine,if only allowing for that fact of total destinations flown,let alone freq & pricing..Your geography but more importantly perhaps economic geography is lacking dear chap....Anyways a cheap shot I know but if SEN was totally surrounded by catchment & not half being water then perhaps you could double your quoted available market size.....If SEN is so connected why it being artificially stimulated as per my previous comments....SEN`s location also might have nothing to do with Railway Stations,but it`s location within the industry`s psyche...The industry has never asked for or sought the SEN development/redevelopment & have not been lured,whatever may be their reasoning?....Apologies not trying to be unpleasant I just ask & have been asking questions which no SEN poster is game enough to challenge with honest reasoning or statements,only with bluster....Good Luck SS & apologies to the Manston thread for use for the reply...

The unpleasantness refers to your words "hilarious" and "priceless", neither of which are reality, but opinions. In terms of being in the middle of nowhere I meant that Stansted's immediate catchment is much smaller than SEN's.
There is no way that SEN will ever again dominate STN as it once did, STN has the infrastructure and the critical mass to continue to prosper. However, there's no reason why SEN can't prosper too albeit at a much lower level of pax than STN.
Manston, on the other hand, is unlikely to ever prosper again unless investment on a gigantic scale is involved. A great shame. I remember seeing Air Ferry and Invicta DC-4s and Vikings there so many years ago but even then the airport struggled.

My local airport goes from strength to strength, when I arrived here 6 years ago we had two flights per week, ATR72's, one on a Monday and one on a Friday albeit only on one hour sectors as that is all the length of runway would permit.
Over the past 4 years, it has taken them that long, to extend off one end of the runway by about the size of a postage stamp whilst we now have a terminal building and no longer have to wait in the open air ... although I do still prefer to wait in the airport car park until the ATR72 has performed it's flyby over the top before making it's visual approach to land.
These days we're up to as many as 4 or 5 flights daily, up to 3 ATR72's and 2 BAe146-100's and in another few years, or however long it may take them to extend off the other end of the runway, we might even be able to accept Q400's and BAe146-200's.
And, who knows, in the future they may even think about introducing such things as fuel and runway lights and, if they really push the boat out, even an instrument aid such as an NDB.
Have a nice day Bobby!

I recently dropped by the STN thread, there appears to have been some sort of cat fight going on, Essex Girl vs Essex Girl or Hertfordshire Girl or whatever, somehow it appears to have found it's way to this Kent Real Estate thread, hopefully it has since returned to Essex or Hertfordshire or wherever it belongs.
