How about Manston?
Let's see, we can't get the business at the front end to get the non stop Gatwick Express but Manston will be the answer?
This whole idea is just a story. In the UK it would take a generation to happen, so won't. The whole idea that you put a new airport into anywhere near the London area is comedy. I couldn't imagine LCY being given the go ahead today, indeed Ken Livingstone was looking for a way to phase it out over time.
