I sniff bull****:rolleyes::confused:

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.

hey niknak - wow, didnt know you were such a good friend that knows me so well? - so the last time we met was???? --- hmmm me thinks never? - quite opinionated and un-imformed i think - where does the world domination thing come from??? you have no idea about my career - so wind your neck in...! :mad:

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...

:ouch:

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:ugh:

Cut out the slagging guys.

Humble apologies - thanks no slots - im happy to come back and set it all up again if they want to pay me sums of cash that merits it... if only because i dont have a Stearman to fly down here altho the beach is nicer :}

Hamburg Flights
 

I see from Daisy that the Thomsonfly flights have indeed taken place, both 737's duly off to Hamburg.

Jetscream - you're not who I thought you were and I've also been put right by another source, so humble apologies old chap.
Niknak - wearing sackcloth and sitting on barbed wire.

:ok: no probs

Hamburg
 

I see that Daisy is listing another Hamburg flight from Manston, anyone know what these flights are?

Thomson
 

Passengers are for Cruises from/to Dover I believe :ok:

They're cruise ship crews.

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 ?

Hi What/who are the change group, sounds like LOST to me.

Jetstream, nice to know your still around, Nxxx i hope, always held back by threaterened individuals.

The Change Group
 

They are currency exchange specialists, easily found on the web.

I see they're advertising now for a Travel shop assistant and an Executive Administrator is required to join the companyin a period of growth and expansion. Interesting!

Manstonman .... I doubt they would get many takers if the said something like "in a period of negative growth and downward passenger numbers and freight loadings" would they.?? :bored:

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.

My spies tell me that cargo handled in January was 35% up on January 2007.

Only Wx diversions stopped it being another 4,000 ton month.

"this year already 5 positions have been advertised."

Signs of high turnover, perhaps?

coming shortly you may soon see some interesting movements from west africa arriving for mx once the old Das Engineering facility is up and running with the new owners..
