While I am supportive of a local passenger airport I don't support building a giant airfreight hub at Manston.
I do Manston posts from time to time starting with https://thanetonline.blogspot.com/2008/08/infratill-v-gateway.html
over 10 years ago and if I have remembered to tag them they all come up by clicking
on this link https://thanetonline.blogspot.com/search/label/Manston%20Airport
and every time you get to the bottom of a page clicking on the “Older Posts”
link there.
At the moment there is a fire at Westwood near to the
airport at Manston, what is burning there is 6,000 bales of rubbish, plastics,
paper, cardboard, labels, and other corrugated materials, so apart from the
fossil fuel derived plastics which will be about as nasty as kerosene, probably not as
bad for you as aviation kerosene.
I reckon that one bale is about tonne or less and that frankly if you have smelt the fire at all over the past few days then the deadly particulate matter from jet engines at Manston will come your way, reduce your life expectancy and increase your chance of getting dementia.
You can't smell particulate matter and the smallest, 2.5pm also called 2.5 micron particulates travel through the air for miles.
I think every cargo plane movement at Manston will burn at least 3 tonnes of fuel on the ground at Manston, this is based on the planes and plane engines that RiverOak say they are going to use in their application documents.
If you have read their application you would have to have read about 400 pages a day since they submitted their 11,000 page application around the beginning of the month, so if anyone says the have, they may be being economical with the truth.
The absolute minimum number of freight movements to qualify for a DCO is 10,000 so 1 tonne for the ground movement and 2 tonnes on the runway means 30,000 tonnes of aviation kerosene burnt per year here in Thanet.
Taking the, less than 6,000 tonne fire at Westwood and comparing it, my first thought is how much will burn and how much have the fire brigade managed to put out.
On a more cheerful note the weather was so nice today that I had my brunch outside on the sundeck of The Royal Victoria Pavilion today
Not much progress with my watercolour from that seat there as I have a lot on at the moment.
