But Manston isnt set up like that yet, so the fork lift truck and slave pallet rule at the moment all the time it gives a fast offload.
I do agree that on the freight side, space is paramount, once a 747 build has been completed, there is hardly room to sneeze in there.
But i did see the surveyors on Echo the other day looking at putting more concrete down i hear, and negotiations still ongoing to get Hangar 3 back for freight builds.

Where abouts is hangar 3 Is that the hangar near the DAS hangar and taking off DAS is there any news on there return.?One other thing is the flights to the USA are they on the 767?
