The previous thread appears closed so this new thread offers the opportunity to watch how the situation develops .

There have been more reports of Manston being raised from the dead than resurrection stories in the bible. It would be great to see the airfield re open, but surely to be an efficient cargo hub it needs to be more central with good road and rail links Sited 70 miles from London on an eastern peninsular and closer to Europe than most of the mainland UK it is hardly conducive to being a cost effective distribution centre.
But don't knock it until you've tried it. Go Manston!!
