A bit of a tale of two towers here, obviously one of them is
wrong as they should have both come out the same size, I didn’t have the time
to start again and the viewing angle made it difficult to draw, because of
looking up at it.

Manston - A formal offer
North Thanet`s MP, Sir Roger Gale, has indicated that this (Sunday) afternoon a formal offer has been made for the purchase of Manston Airfield as a working airport.
Speaking from his constituency Sir Roger has said:
“ In the light of the ongoing concern about the future of Manston and the obvious distress and concern that this is causing to our constituents employed there I have today telephoned the company with whom I met last week and they have confirmed that they have, following discussions with the owner of the airfield, Mrs. Gloag, now submitted a formal offer to purchase the business as a going concern.
This does not, of course, mean that the offer has been accepted but I hope and expect that common sense and fairness will now prevail and that, as a result, an agreement will be reached that will enable Manston to remain open and operational and to realise its’ potential both in the interests of those that Laura Sandys and I represent and also in the national interest. Clearly any agreement will take still more time to finalise and legalise but given the indication that Mrs. Gloag gave to me personally to the effect that she wished to sell I would hope and expect that any differences between seller and buyer will be resolved.”

that I visit Canterbury regularly.

New manston offer rejected so the end of gale and manston
ReplyDeleteDiscussions ongoing with improved offer likely. Don't crack the bubbly yet 6:45. If Ann keeps rejecting offers against the wishes of the people with the power, she will really struggle to get planning.
ReplyDeleteThat's right 7:03 and 7:18 Gale and Manston have been a brilliant success. We need a policr investigation into the costs anf missing monitors and fines.
ReplyDeleteOf course we do, dear, just try to calm down and don't get yourself over excited. You know you must watch your blood pressure.
DeleteHow do we get the council to look at compulsory purchase to support the various businesses operating from the airport. Scottish Parliament did that with Prestwick Airport which was sold to Infratil by Stagecoach - funny that !!! Is anyone investigating their relationship, one sells, one buys, expands beyond profitability then wants to close an airfield.
