The DC-8 is going to be restored? I thought that was slowly being scrapped, it is in the area of death, i know the ex-RAAF 707 is hopefully gonna be restored but that seems to be on hold atm. They main use of the airfield at the moment seems to be training for business jets.

I live in the town, by the station and urself?

Over near Asda, on Rumfields Rd.
That is correct in the DC-8 going to the netherlands.
It is going to be restored to static condition in KLM colors.
The 707 has got be hush kitted before it can fly, not too sure what is going on with it at the moment.
I’ve noticed quite a few heavies taking off from manston in the last couple of weeks, which is a nice change from the boring business jets, including a DC-10, which was nice n’ loud!
