Dont tell um pike

DTUP. There is no need to be confused. I have no feelings about Manston
either way. I would like to see it succeed,as I would any viable airport.

Whilst I can understand local people would want to cheer it on, their enthusiasm must have some basis in fact and reality, and not the realms of fantasy that seem to permeate this particular thread.

In my opinion Manston has a place as a charter airport, and freight hub,
but as a scheduled service, high frequency LOCO operation I don't think so.
Where are the passengers going to come from?

As I stated earlier, with it's excellent runway, and location outside the
London TMA in the South East of England, why aren't the scheduled
carriers lining up to fly from Manston?

Surely however much you may wish it to succeed that is a question you
must be asking .
