Err Freight?
Again this post has been swallowed up with the 'nay' Sayers.
The point of 'pro' posters is freight and having seen with mine own eyes
a fully freighted B747 with up to 17 Artics neatly lined up, ready to
swallow up the disgorge, plus various DC8's (Egypt air cargo) also
ready to pass on their goodies (dates and other such niceties') and others,to awaiting vehicles leads me to conclude that most people that come on this thread haven't got a rats arse about what their talking about.
For all you Thomas the Tank engine fans out there look at Google maps
and 'Whey hey'..Behold you will find that the B2190 comes directly from the bonded (ex)warehouse to connect within two miles to the A253 (dual carriageway plus motorway ALL the way to London) or if required swing
a left at the roundabout onto the A299 (also duelled) to the port of Ramsgate.. or Dover..or Folkestone.
Or how about being brave and talk to the massive hub of DHL down in
Maidstone.
Trains? How many airports in the U.K. actually have direct railway link
to terminal..last time I was in Luton (couple of weeks ago) had to get the
bus which used to be courtesy but now you have to pay for! And that's
one of our 'recognized' hubs
So for all you brownsite sniffers,faraway armchair experts and general nay sayers..YES.. it really is true..Manston airport could survive as a
freight hub..albeit with a more projected view towards its future and
less in-house squabbling with local politicians
Dr Beau Webber..I salute you..keep up the good work Sir..
and please,please don't let the 'Begrudging and bitching' make you falter from your cause
