People have been making this claim about Manston as long as I can remember, and it's no more true now than it was then. Have you seen the well established storage and logistics industry which has sprung up around Heathrow? It would be difficult and expensive to replicate the facilities at MSE.

I've only been following the fortunes of Manston for about 20 years, so obviously I'm one of the uninformed. Perhaps you could explain to me how, since 99% of freight at Heathrow and Gatwick arrives in the cargo holds of passenger aircraft, exactly how passengers and freight are to be separated in a manner which allows freight to move to Manston?
