Manston Airshow 2014 cancelled

Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/manstonairshow?fref=ts possibly not a good pr move from the new owners of the airport.  

The picture of the Vulcan XH483, at Manston taken on 4th August 1967 is from the book that I publish Twilight of the Pistons, see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/1997_twilight_of_pistons.htm

  2. Perhaps we could have a boat show?

    On the bright side, this at least shows the new owners expect the airport to be too busy for an airshow so, if that is the case, maybe Manston is not such a dead duck after all. Oh, and before anyone bites my head off, please note I did say 'if' as a prefix to my comment, so it is not a prediction.

  3. ... or maybe it wont be an airport for much longer.

  4. Given Mrs Gloag's interest in property development I suspect she'll be getting planning permission for a few new houses... £1 doesn't seem too much to pay for the land.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
