Do you not know how long Manston runway is ? Dave it was a joke and I was taking the mick as you dont ever say anything good about Manston Another thing is Daily papers just talk trash they make half of the stories up There was a BA A319 in MSE today due to bad weather at LHR the crew were very happy with the service given to them. Thank you Jes thats brilliant news made my day hope the 2 airlines do turn up? As Esperia have gone quiet
