I sniff bull****
Your plans for world domination sound pretty good but in reallity are of questionable substance.
I would love to see your evidence that the then owners of Manston turned down your proposals, especially the KLM proposal.
More than that, you claim to have done all this in or around 2001, but it appears that you've not been involved in anything in aviation with any success during one of the UK's most prosperous economic periods since?
Put up or shut up.

There are plenty of people from Wiggins still around and working at the airport who are able to verify the content of my previous post.... so how about you getting back in your cage...

Hey boys calm down eh eh calm down (scouse accent}
I do believe I know you both. Jetscream32 is actually telling the truth.It was well known at the time amongst the people there but as 32 said fatman was'nt interested in his proposals because they were "small fry".Its was always the case of trying to run before you can walk with the previous regime which ultimatley lead to their downfall. We'll never know, but I wonder if 32's proposal had been accepted if the old place would have been ticking away quite nicely today with everybody reasonably happy.Now play nicely

Picked up this little bit on infratil's web site. !!
A provisional deal was agreed with, Kent International Airport, where The Change Group will start operating when the number of international passengers using the airport passes the 500,000 mark.
I wonder when ?

They could of course have said nothing. Last year there were no jobs advertised at all, this year already 5 positions have been advertised. Not huge numbers I know but a sign to me that the airport is not going to end up as a housing estate in the near future.
Judging by the number of movements already this year, the amount of new equipment that's been brought in and the money that's being spent around the place generally I think Manston could be in for a very interesting year.
