None at the moment - to your first point (but not because of weather at 700ft). It is because the airport is newly born.

To your second point - But sheer volume of traffic creates lots of wealth whereas fog at 700ft creates no wealth.

The sheer volume of traffic at MAN is partly due to you not being at 700ft in the fog.

Yes you get low viz and wind but nowhere near as much as you would at 700ft.
