Well somehow planes managed to land at manston for decades so why not ask

how they solved it.

I do know that actually, having first landed at Manston in 1965 in a
Chipmunk. But why not share your figures for Manston's previous peak
performance and tell us where the extra flight paths will come from to
justify I also know that Manson never achieved a fraction of the
movements necessary to justify the infrastructure investment you are
calling for? Or are they Scotch mist (mist being something Manston used
to be rather good at)

Flight paths are not fixed tracks in the sky, they can be adjusted to suit.
You're just putting up made up problems to back up the feeble assertion that
manston is unsuitable. The planes could use exactly the same stacks as
heathrow and gatwick with obviously a different final approach. How do you
think City Airport manages?
