Manston in Kent
Lahr in Germany
Parchim in Germany
Cuneo in Italy
Odense in Denmark
Smyrna in the US
Pilsen in the Czech Republic
Ajman airport

The main initial focus is on cargo operation manston is currently the 7th biggest airport in terms of cargo weight in England. cuneo is the only Airport that currently has scheduled services from 3 febuary there will be 3 flights a day to Rome and 1 flight a day to Strasbourg in the summer there will be charter flights.

As well as the airports Manston still has a valuable non airport related land bank which it plans on selling/developping and using the money generated to invest in the planestations.

London Manstons TravelStation website is now on line. More forward moves by Wiggins to expand it's horizons with Planestation.

That's just the Travelstation website, do you have the Manston website too? I'll post a link if not. I'd appreciate it if you could post news from the odd article in the Kent newspapers, Thanet Gazette etc. I get some news from relatives who live in Birchington but they don't always remember to tell me.

Do you ever get into the terminal building. Cheap cafe with great view of the apron, they do a lovely cumberland sausage lunch. Time I went back there again.

WIGGINS FLIES ON WHITE PAPER BOOST

Shares in Wiggins Group plc, operators of Manston Airport in Kent, jumped 10.34pc to 4p after the government White Paper on the future of air transport said there was scope for existing small airports to meet future air traffic demand.

“The White Paper offers us a major opportunity for growth by making it clear that there will be no new runway capacity elsewhere in the south east before 2011-2012 at the earliest,” said a Wiggins spokesman.

The spokesman went on to say “It recognises that there is considerable scope for us to meet demand for air services and goes on to bracket Manston with major airports such as London City and Southampton.”

Manston, a former RAF base, was acquired by Wiggins in 1997. It is ideally placed to receive overspill traffic from heavily overcrowded Heathrow and Gatwick. It has a runway capable of supporting intercontinental passenger flights. The volume of cargo traffic handled through the airport is currently up 29pc on last year.

Wiggins is in the throes of a major financial restructuring to clear debts and provide cash to develop its PlaneStation strategy of regional airports.

"Bloody good news" Please read

The South East

Our first priority is to make best use of the existing runways at the major South East airports. Beyond that, we support the building of two new runways in the South East in the period to 2030.

We support development as soon as possible (around 2011/2012) of a second runway at Stansted as the first new runway for the South East. Noise should be strictly controlled, and loss of heritage and countryside kept to a minimum. We do not support options for two or three new runways at Stansted.

We support development of Heathrow provided that strict environmental limits can be met, including a new runway as soon as possible after Stansted (in the 2015–2020 period). We look to the operator to safeguard land for it. We propose an urgent programme of work to tackle the air quality problems at Heathrow and consider how best to use the existing airport.

We believe that land should be safeguarded for a new wide-spaced runway at Gatwick both on its own merits and in case the conditions attached to a new Heathrow runway cannot be met. But we will not act to overturn the planning agreement preventing a second runway before 2019. We do not support the option for two new runways at Gatwick.

We support the growth of Luton up to the maximum use of one runway, but we do not support a second runway.

We do not believe that there is a strong case for creating a second hub in the South East, whether or not a third runway is built at Heathrow.

We do not support a new airport at Cliffe, because of its ecological damage, safety risk and doubtful viability.

We do not support development of Alconbury for passengers or freight but we recognise the potential to move aircraft maintenance there from Cambridge.

We believe that there is considerable scope for London City, Norwich, Southampton, Southend, and Manston to help meet demand for air services. Nor should the potential of Lydd, Shoreham, and Biggin Hill be overlooked.

We do not support any of the other proposals for alternative locations put forward during the consultation.

It's not hard to post a link.

First, go to the page that you want to post the link to.

Look at the top of the page, like this one for instance, and you will see the address line for it. Yes, that's right, it's the line that begins http://www............etc.

Now, use your mouse and left click once on the address line, it ought to change colour. Then right click on it and a small dialogue box should open.

Select copy. What you have done is to place a copy of the address onto your clipboard.

Now go to the message you are writing in MoneyAM. Write your message until you get to the point you want to put the link, I usually press enter a couple of times to place the link in its own line.

Now look at the bottom of the box and you will see a line called "link:"

Place the cursor into the link box and left click your mouse. Then press "Control" and 'V' together. The link will now appear in that box.

If you can't handle two keys at once, right click your mouse in the box and select "paste", the effect will be the same.

Then simply left click your mouse on the box where it says "insert website link"

Lo and behold the link should now appear in the reply box. Then just finish your message as normal and press "post reply".

All very simple, even I can do it.

Please don't be offended if I spell it out too simply, what is second nature to many of us can be confusing gobbledegook to others.

Just an aside, what operating system are you using?
