They even called it "London Manston" for a while.
I think they stopped when the one passenger airline that flew there went
bust.

*Plus a short bike ride past the potato fields**.
But they could easily build a short rail link to Minster-ish.

There was at one time a branch from near Birchington (facing Faversham) to
Manston Airfield, but I don't know either when it was built, orwhen it was
closed and lifted.
