I have undone the redirect here, for the sake of categories. If we don't do this then 'Kent International Airport' shows up in the 'Royal Air Force bases' category with no explanation. Until we can override the text that appears in the category, I suggest that this is the least confusing approach. DJ Clayworth 03:33, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Restoration of Article

I have restored the RAF Manston article, splitting relevant information from Kent International Airport, as they are clearly different things! The history of the RAF airbase is of only passing relevance to the commercial operation, and having a separate article will allow the addition of new information (RAF Manston crest for instance)

Apart from this, there is still a military base here (FSCTE Manston), which has been in continuous operation as part of the RAF operation since 1959! This article allows successful linking between articles, and is of historical relevance
