asdf; I have advocated for many years that houses will be the ultimate outcome. Manston is a fore runner of this demise and that also will end up as houses. Sadly looking back at a decade or more of SEN operations I cannot see that despite posting the odd profitable annual statements any real monies have ever been made. I doubt that even the loans for the present Terminal, Tower and taxiways have been payed off! In respect of GA there are a number of existing fields to service their needs.
