Why Manston, the Virgin connection I suppose, Virgin Atlantic use it as a
training field for B747 and A340.

Its only a short 72 mile trip round the North and east of London down to
Kent International Airport. The name is a bit of a joke and makes it sound
a bit grander than it is but it has a 2752 m (9029ft) by 61m runway.

The other reason is that it is probably remote that is as far east as you
can get in southern England, the coast is a mere 2 miles from the threshold
of runway 28 and 7 miles from the threshold of runway 10. The airport is in
class G airspace, the nearest controlled airspace is a chunk of Class A at
FL65 above it.
Good fun then!

It hosted the USAAF from 1950 to 1958.
