Does anyone know what is happening with the airport itself i.e. the runway, the ILS and ATC?
It is a huge place. The money generated by a flying school won't be enough to even clear the weeds from that amount of tarmac!
Manston and Lydd have the same problem: miles from anywhere. They are at little risk from property developers (which is pretty unique in the UK) so fantastic potential for all kids of things.
A bit like most places in Kent; most people that moved to Kent have never been seen again
