Of course and they keep most of them on the other side of the channel in future as more frieght is loaded onto 747 dreamlifters  or that rather ugly Beluga thing that can carry over 100,000 lb of frieght .
No more queing on the M20 or the Frogs creating hold ups coming the other way , everyones a winner ,but then we told everyone that in 2014
This will be a good one to win, so we can all get on with carving out better lives for ourselves and our own — though it all seems rather pyrrhic, even without listing all the negatives...
On climate change — we're talking, we're beginning to act, but we're still not doing enough...

Won't the trucks that have been parked up or the airfield since Brexit restrictions on cross channel traffic came in, have to be cleared before planes can use the place...?

Remember the debate on the much needed runway capacity for the south east ?    Second and third runways a Gatwick ,another at Heathrow even Boris Island on the Thames with only UKIP (when they meant something) shouting for the re-opening of Manston 
Ukip manifesto pledge to re-open Manston (kentonline.co.uk)

I recall at the time that Manstons closer provided a security headache , not to mention the need for an airport there Manston was and I presume will be reinstated as ,due to its long runway and location ,where aircraft in need of emergency landing will be directed 

But there we are , good to see all the hard work pay off ,even if it did take 7 years to get there .
