Notes:

A rare overview of Manston as we climb out from RWY27, with a ex-Kuwait Airways 747 parked in storage along with an Embraer Legacy and a 707. Manston has been a sleepy mainly cargo airport for many years since EU Jet suspended operations in 2005. However, things are looking up at KLM have recently announced a service to AMS - you can see the passenger terminal at the top right of the shot.
