Manston & TG Aviation

We took an unscheduled stop there yesterday due to very poor weather in Belgium. ATC were tremendously helpful in helping out, even though we hadn't PPR'd. We parked at TG Aviation who were again very helpful and friendly.

As was mentioned above, there was a 747 doing circuits (this will happen every saturday and sunday for the foreseable future). It was quite amusing to hear the 747 report downwind to be told that he was number two to a Cessna 152.

TG only have a coffee machine, but a short walk over the road to the Museum and the Merlin Cafe was well worth it... and its worth going there to look around the museum too, entry to which is free.
