	Kent International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the USAF's withdrawal from Manston, the airfield became a joint civilian and RAF airport from 1960 and was thence employed for occasional package tour and cargo flights, alongside its continuing role as an RAF base.
		From 1989 Manston became optimistically styled as Kent International Airport, and a new terminal was officially opened that year by the Duchess of York.
		Kent International Airport was initially a 38 acre (150,000 m²) civilian area within the former RAF Manston including the existing terminal building and an apron where passengers embark and the largest of freighters may be loaded.

	Kent
		Kent is bounded by Thurrock and Medway Towns to the north; by London and Surrey to the west, and by East Sussex to the south.
		Kent's proximity to the continent and to London has meant that many historically important events have taken place in the county.
		It was on the coast of Kent that Caesar landed in 55 BC; to which Hengist and Horsa brought their Saxon mercenaries; and to which St Augustine led his followers.

	BBC - WW2 People's War - Kent during WW2 - A1084998
		With the British and French armies cornered by the advancing German army near Dunkirk in 1940, Kent became the focus of the nation's attention as, between 26 May and 3 June, more than 330,000 troops were rescued from the beaches in one of the most astonishing operations of the war.
		Kent's towns were bombed throughout the war and casualties on the ground were often heavy in spite of the fact that thousands of people went underground to avoid the raids.
		Kent once again found itself on the front line and the RAF, gunners and balloon handlers fought hard to limit the damage on the ground.

	Kent International - Manston - Helicopter Database
		After WWII, Manston was a joint RAF and civilan airfield, the RAF using the ICAO code EGUM.
		In 1982, Manston was reclassified as a Military Emergency Diversion Airfield and between Apr 1984 and Mar 1985, further improvements were carried out including re-surfacing the main runway and taxi-ways.
		A further proposed expansion was cut short by the collapse of the Berlin Wall and its military use went into decline, 202 Squadron F Flight left for Wattisham in Jul 1994, and it culminated in the closure of RAF Manston on 31 Mar 1999.

	Hillside Systems - Manston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Manston is an easy place to learn flying, it has a very long runway, Runway 10/28, which is 2752 metres long and 61 metres wide..
		There used to be loads of stuff here about the 'other' runway at Manston, but since the RAF moved out, and private business moved in, that has sadly gone.
		I suppose that I should be happy that you can still fly from the place, there seems to be a gradual erosion of places to fly into in South-East England.

	BBC - Kent News - Cliffe airport go-ahead would close Manston
		The study says that Manston could not stay in business because of air traffic control limitations.
		Secretary of the Manston Airport Group Pete Binding said the closure probably would not matter as much as some might think as Cliffe would bring more jobs to the area than Manston ever could.
		I think it is really quite galling that these consultants have been putting proposals and options forward which will have fundamental effects on many lives and have not even had the good grace, once the report has been published, to inform the council.

		Manston is a wonderful airport to fly out of, I walked next to my bags as I left the aircraft and collected them withing two minutes.
