Manston Usaf Base
A Memory of Ramsgate.
I used to live in and around London Road, Ramsgate. One of my playmates had a crewcut and was from Texas as his father piloted Shooting Star jet fighters at nearby RAF Manston. We used to make canoes and catamarans from the plane's drop [fuel] tanks - much to the irritation of the USAF people.
The guys from the base started a burger bar - the first ever - in the big Hotel on the front near the beginning of London Road and the rioad up from the Harbour.
