"Wasn't there a public meeting about MSE last night? Any significant news from it?"
I went along. Hardly anyone turned up. There was a guy with an anorak who grilled the airport manager about progress on business flights. Apparently, the airport had sent a questionnaire out to the guy with the anorak earlier in the year. The airport manager was unable to report any progress at all. Still, the big advantage of Manston being so quiet is that the meeting could be held in the unused departure lounge.
Did you go out of personal interest or on behalf of others?
