Manston Cargo

I am on the side of the flight path of runway 28
I see MK some time 1 or 2 a day, some must be loaded out as I saw one very low off the end of the runway two weeks ago.
Also Egypt Air cargo I think about 4 a week come in.
And the odd cargo plane. I don't see all
In the last week I noticed a BA 747 doing touch and go,s, and Virgin was about.
The Airport has been advising for a cargo manager £25k.
A lot of works been done, new radar system, lighting ,the whole place must have been rewired, trenchs over the whole airport. all the work is safety related.
The man I talk to tells me lots will happen next year.
Just have to wait and see.
I think the Airport will be around for a while yet.
With all the talk about Esperia, the only one that never said a word was Infratil, I dont think there say a word about any new traffic untill a deal is done and dusted.
They may not even give a press release about cargo.
