Manston history museum staged a special event in aid of charity today. There were old military vehicles, some re-enactors, stalls, entrance to the museum itself and, for the first time in several years, a number of light aircraft flew in to support the event. Although they were parked up the other side of the road to the museum and not readily accessible it was great to see live aircraft on the airfield once again.
The future of flight seems to be down to a judicial review in July and a change in the council recently means that they are no longer in favour of the airport re-opening but the owners are still pushing ahead at present. Polar Helicopters who are based at Manston dealt with air traffic today.
With a spot of lunch taken at the Spitfire museum this was a pleasant diversion in the spring sunshine.
Pictures from my last visit to the museum can be seen
here but this is from today:

ReplyDeleteSurprised to find our joint visit was 8 years ago!!
DeleteYes Marcus, the Manston saga drags on. Each time there is a positive step forward some local 'vigilante' group steps in and chucks another spanner in the works.
Nice 'hit the deck' shot of the Provost
