Before I start on this I should point out that I have have a bit of history when it comes to Manston and other UK provincial airports. Back in the 1960s we would take our little Morris car and park it on the edge of the airfield clutching our £40 allowances and our passports, we would climb the steps up to the towering DC10 and in a few hours be transported to Spain or Italy, where the sun always shined, the food and wine were cheap...
Now of course it's the fast train, underground to the departure gate and less fun at greater expense.

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.
