I'd be fascinated to see the figures behind those forecasts.
It's not just the case of how they conjured up the numbers for the forecasts... it will take some serious redevelopment to have the facilities capable of that.
I'm all for the development of air travel in this country, and this is exactly what should be done with sites like Manston.
Along with the figures for the forecasts
DaveReidUK would like to see, I'd like to see some form of masterplan (be it a 10 yr, 25 yr or even 50 yr), complete with proposed transport links to and from the airfield etc, before I get enthusiastic about the idea.
