* Eurocopter flight trials successfully completed
* Additional German & US military purchases
* Additional working capital secured

SCOTTY Group plc, announces today that Eurocopter Deutschland ("Eurocopter"),
part of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company ("EADS"), has
confirmed that the official flight trials of its military helicopters which
contain SCOTTY's CH 53 SATCOM Mission equipment have passed successfully.

During the trials, the equipment was demonstrated to officials from the German
Army. SCOTTY has received positive feedback from the Ministry officials that
attended and can confirm that the project now enters a new phase in which every
effort is being made to speed up the procurement process necessary to finalise
the project and implement delivery.

In order to fund the additional working capital and costs incurred during the 6
week delay to the flight trials for the CH 53 programme, SCOTTY has secured a
convertible loan of #400,000 through a new facility provided by Headstart, with
the possibility for another #400,000 above that. SCOTTY's directors believe that
this facility could be repaid within the 60-day term of the loan if the delivery
programme with Eurocopter proceeds as they anticipate.

In addition to the Eurocopter project, SCOTTY expects to receive over #2 million
before the calendar year-end from the implementation and delivery of a number of
orders previously announced.

These also include the delivery of Euro720,000 worth of equipment including SCOTTY
Mobile Systems, SATCOM equipment and Telemedicine units to the German army in
this quarter. In addition, SCOTTY confirms that the US Army has deployed three
disaster co-ordination teams equipped with SCOTTY's video teleconferencing
equipment to the Gulf Coast states, which were affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Chief of Staff for the First U.S. Army, Col. James Hickey said: "Satellite
communications are often critical in a hurricane's aftermath. One of the things
we learned last year with the series of hurricanes that passed through Florida
was the need for satellite communications,"

"This storm will likely take out some key communications nodes, and cell phones
and landlines may not work for some time," he added.

ROLL UP ROLL UP get your 2mil here...

*Rumours of imminent major contracts for Scotty Group (LSE: SCO.L - news) .
http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/051212/237/fz0xx.html

can not be long now surely, christmas next week...

this should be interesting this month.. keep an eye on it, the 2mil still not announced

No announcements and we are now PAST year end!!!!
This happens time and time again. It happened with Motion Media and its still happening with Scotty.
Next thing, they'll be running out of money and there will be another issue of shares!!!
If no news within the next 10 days then I'm selling!!!

shedlike,

Have you held for long?

Looking at my dealing history, I paid 140p, (yes that's one POUND 40 pence!) for MMD in June 2000, and sold 9 months later for a loss, over which time the price had reached 180p!

That lesson taught me to respect stop losses, and I still ocassionally do!

Hi Andy,

I have held for around two years having bought MMD at 6p, 16p and 12p respectively.
I truly believed that the "telehealth" idea would be a big hitter back then and continued to buy MMD on thoughts that Police, Health Services and Security would all adopt the phones at some point in time.
Now, I'm not sure.
It seems that these ideas have been put on the back burner whilst Scotty focus on Defence contracts and I'm no longer certain that this is where the money is.
Surely an update from Scotty is the least we deserve?

Latest news direct from Scotty's PR company is that the Finals are being signed off by Deloitte and will be released this morning - hopefully, along with some updates on contract progress and cash receipts/financing. Just to make it clear, the latter is my hopes, not something the PR company said.

great news today, excellent trading update

great news today... cant wait for the copters deal to be announced

katcenka,

That's 'IF' they are announced surely?

katcenka,

That's 'IF' they are announced surely?


Shedlike,

I agree, the Telehealth looks a decent prospect to me, and one that could actually financially benefit the people and healty sevices that take it up, whereas the military contracts seem to be taking forever.

Good luck, I hope they eventually announce those chopper orders.

ah.....ha..... rumour mill, scotty has got the 48mil contract next week we are going to fly and fly high, will be number 1 riser on monday, then will move all this to MRP for the next bagging

I presume this value is a typo in the Independent?:

Small-cap traders were watching tiny Scotty Group, up 0.37p to 1.77p, as rumours that the company is about to sign a significant helicopter contract did the rounds. The company has a market capitalisation of 11m, and the contract is thought to be worth 48bn (32.5bn). Traders said the company's small market capitalisation is the result of a hangover from the dot.com bubble, when the company was known as Motion Media.

AT,

Looks about right to me, what value are you querying?

billion rather than million

AT,

Ok, if only, LOL!

The deal is in Euros, and over 4 years, if it is confrmed of course.

anyone noticed SCO website is down today ;-)

us there news tomorrow... could be a swift lift back to 13p

i'm in, lets see where they go.[north hopefully]

seems like a lot of people jumping ship

doh!

GET IN NOW!!!! GET IN NOW!!!

Been in these since last year, heard the rumors at the weekend, but would you like to explain your above comment spudhead.

Lithuanian Border Guard orders Eurocopter EC 135 and EC 145
Monday, February 27, 2006 - Eurocopter

The Lithuanian Border Guard has placed an order for two EC 135 and one EC 145 light-twin engine helicopters to complement its fleet of two single-engine EC 120s which have been in service since 2003. The contract is worth 18 million. Lithuania thereby joins the large number of law enforcement and homeland security agencies in Europe already operating these helicopter types, and becomes fully compliant with European Commission and Schengen Agreement standards. The three new helicopters will be delivered by the end of 2006.

Lithuania has a border of about 650 kilometers with Belarus and a border of almost 300 kilometers with Russia. The Eurocopter helicopters are suitable for border patrol operations as well as police service and will be used according to the demands of the structural subdivisions under the Ministry of the Interior. The EC 135s will be deployed at the countrys eastern frontier with Belarus and used for overland patrol. The EC 145 will be deployed at the Baltic Sea and used for the Coast Guard as well as for the guard of the frontier of the Kaliningrad district (Russia). It will be operated according to the Kaliningrad District Transit Program.

The EC 135 and the EC 145 are the reference helicopters for law enforcement and homeland security agencies in Europe. Prestigeous customers already include the German Federal Police, the French SecuritCivile and Gendarmerie, the Spanish Guardia Civil, Irish Garda and Irish Air Corps, London Metropolitan Police Authority and other UK police forces, as well as police helicopter squadrons in Sweden, Norway, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania and the United States.

Eurocopter has adapted its line of light twin-engine helicopters very specifically to meet the demands of law enforcement and homeland security agencies. While the EC 135 has established itself as the standard police helicopter all over Europe, the larger EC 145 is a perfect complement with its ability to rapidly deliver a number of officers or heavy equipment to the scene of an incident. This ability is particularly relevant in the new climate of extra vigilance against terrorism.

Eurocopters new generation of light twins is notable for their spacious and unobstructed cabins which are easily accessible through large side sliding doors and rear clamshell doors and can be easily reconfigured. A broad variety of mission equipment packages is certified and available, such as for surveillance, search and rescue, emergency medical services, quick reaction missions, firefighting, training or passenger transportation.

The helicopters have night-vision goggle compatible, digital cockpits, and can be fitted with FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared), search light, rescue hoist and cargo hook, as the customer specifies. Besides, both the EC 135 and the EC 145 have the lowest noise emission is their respective classes, a fact well appreciated by operators who regularly fly over urban and built-up areas, or undertake surveillance and night missions and wish to remain undetected

Eurocopter is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EADS. EADS is a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services. In 2004, EADS generated revenues of 31.8 billion and employed a workforce of about 110,000. The EADS Group includes the aircraft manufacturer Airbus, the world's largest helicopter supplier Eurocopter and the joint venture MBDA, the international leader in missile systems. EADS is the major partner in the Eurofighter consortium, is the prime contractor for the Ariane launcher, develops the A400M military transport aircraft and is the largest industrial partner for the European satellite navigation system Galileo.

spud,
any thoughts on why sp down after news of this order.[re yr last]

AT77,

is this the contract you were hearing rumours about [and if so do you think sp went south as contract not as big as rumoured?][re yr 24/35 post]

Haven't seen that news elsewhere, but if that contract is for 18m euros, (12.5m) then how much is it worth to scotty to supply satelitte coms for them...? should we be expecting an RNS...?

Big ted,

An RNS has been expected for some considerable time!

And desite the deliberately misleading posts above, the POSSIBLE contract is for 48 MILLION Euros, Not 48 billion that is being misquoted above.

News is coming tomorrow morning..

Robert, I don't actually know much about this company and didn't hear any rumours - it was just the Independent article (which did say billion, even if by mistake) that caught my eye so thought I'd ask the messageboard about it.

Just for the record, I quoted it word-for-word and was trying to clarify, not mislead.

Andrew,

And the same misleading post has been posted over and over again across the road!

Guys,

Interesting though all this speculation is, in my humble opinion the 18 million/48 million - and any other large numbers quoted - are for the helicopters themselves. However much cash feeds back to Scotty for their involvement, I'm afraid it's not going to make much difference to the bottom line, as they are only providing a small amount of the componentry for (in this case) just three aircraft. Overall the Eurocopter contract could prove useful to Scotty's bank balance, but I think they'll need to see continued growth in all departments before they really start turning a profit - or before the share price really makes progress. Pity, cos when I bought I thought this was going to be an instant success . . .

PS don't forget that this stock has been considerably diluted by Scotty's fundraising attempts. It's great to hope they'll hit 13p again in a hurry, but that's now going to be a lot more difficult than it used to be, as the co. has gone from 213 million shares in existence at end of 2003 to almost 800 million today. In other words, they'd have to clear a profit of 4 million for EPS 0.5p, and then hit a P/E of 26. How soon are they going to achieve the kind of turnover with which to be able to do this?

AT77
my bad............. when I read your post, I misread it. The mention of rumours was in the article and not from you. Please accept my apologies.

Soul traders,

Nice to see a well reasoned and accurate post.

Some of the price predictions around are ridiculous IMO, and most people don't consider the number of shares in issue before picking their numbers out of thin air.

overvalued even at 1.6p.

Worth 0.5p max.

Andy,

Thanks - I try to be of service :o)

I've just had a closer look at SCO's recent press releases and their final results to 31 July 2005 (which I didn't get a chance to read properly at the time of their release as I was away from home for five weeks around Christmas).

On the plus-side, SCO definitely seems to be making progress with winning customers, and the orders are getting larger too. The downside is still their rate of cash burn and the continuing dilution by issuing new shares to Headstart to raise funds.

It's interesting to see that the current market cap of 13 million more or less reflects the value of net assets on the balance sheet. What's holding the share price back in my view is the (frankly, scary) prospect of Scotty having to issue yet more stock this year to cover another 5 million of losses. That could see another 300 million shares in circulation at today's SP of 1.625p. Improved trading ought to mitigate this somewhat, but there could still be a few years to go before break-even is achieved - and that means further dilution.

My conclusion is that, although the future looks good for the company for as long as Headstart is prepared to carry on investing, I wouldn't expect the SP to be performing any particularly spectacular somersaults for a while. As usual, all IMO/DYOR. I'll be holding on to my modest stake for a while longer, as I think there's enough upside to justify a gradual increase in the SP. I'm 38% down at the moment though.

Don't forget though, that the reason they are racking up such large losses, is because of their spending on r&d, the videophone orders are picking up, if some new contracts come in from eurocopter, this will go a long way to reducing losses, any more products launched (assuming that is what they are spending all their money developing) will increase turnover further... What i am saying is - last years results looked bad through high spending on the satcom equipment for eurocopter, as that figure decreases and orders come in, the profit/loss for current year could change dramatically...

Good point, Big.

I heard the news is being issued tomorrow.. so I bought some more

news is out, more dilution anyone else think the sp going anywhere else but south?
still holding att

Eurocopter steps up power while rivals push for top spot

As uprated AS355 and EC135 are launched at Heli-Expo, Bell unveils new competitors

Eurocopter is upgrading its AS355 and EC135 light twins and stepping up production rates as rival manufacturers make a concerted effort to take over the European companys lead in the civil helicopter market.
EUROCOPTER

Eurocopter is to upgrade its EC135 as new rivals emerge



Eurocopter launched the uprated AS355NP and EC135P2i/T2i at last weeks Helicopter Association International Heli-Expo show in Dallas, Texas. Powered by the Turbomeca 1A1, which has a new high-pressure turbine to increase emergency power, the AS355NP has improved single-engine performance.

Deliveries of the AS355NP will begin in April 2007. The improved helicopter will be more suitable for aerial work applications, Eurocopter says, because the uprated main gearbox, taken from the popular AS350B3 turbine single, raises maximum take-off weight with sling load by 200kg (440lb) to 2,800kg, increasing external payload by 20%.

Maximum take-off weight of the EC135 has been increased by 75kg to 2,910kg, Coupled with reductions in empty weight, this increases the useful load by 80-90kg, equivalent to an extra passenger or 100km (55nm) more range. Hot-and-high performance has also been improved. The upgrade was certificated last month and deliveries begin in September.

Bell Helicopters big announcement at Heli-Expo was the launch of its Model 417 light turbine single, a hot-and-high upgrade of the 417 intended to compete with Eurocopters AS350B3 (Flight International, 27 February6 March). The 417 will fly in April, to be followed in the third quarter by the all-new Model 429 light twin, Bells competitor to the EC135.

The main rotor for the 429 was flown for the first time on 28 February. The rotor features composite blades with lower tip speeds and swept tips for reduced noise. Canadian and US certification of the 429 is set for the second half of 2007, followed within 12 months by European approval.

Certification of the Bell/Agusta Aerospace BA609 civil tiltrotor has been pushed back to the first half of 2010, meanwhile

down again, definitely bought in at the wrong time. in anyones humble opinion do you think these will head north any time soon? would hate to cut my losses and then find it was just the MM's doing a tree shake. new launches and contracts[those mentioned previously] would suggest to me that the shares should go up not down.

It's a patience game, Rob.

And when I see what some of the other stocks tipped on this BB are doing, mine begins to run out . . .

Yep, finally lost it and sold to buy CPNR instead. More risk, more potential reward - just the way I like it.

Rumour in the city is that the huge eurocopter deal is tomorrow.

Time will tell.

keaydian,

There have been so many rumours over the years, so I won't believe it until I can see it.

You wanna believe it.

they moved up but profit takers seem to be in the house att. hope they continue northward in the mid - long term

how much more equity are they likely to pump into the market, seems everytime the shares start to climb they issue more stock and we are back to square one.

not sure i jumped ship when i made my money back and a v. small profit, they were a bit too volatile for me. thought i had made an error of judgement selling as they went up further the following day but just southwards after that so i count myself lucky.

Got on board these last week, looking cheap to me I will be topping up.

EMS SATCOM Grows Business in Europe With SCOTTY Group plc Contract

Monday April 10, 11:11 am ET

Eurocopter Selects eNfusion HSD-128 High-Speed Data Terminal to Deliver Real-Time Video Capabilities to German Army CH53 Helicopters

OTTAWA, April 10, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- EMS SATCOM, a division of EMS Technologies Inc. (NasdaqNM:ELMG - News), reported today that Eurocopter Deutschland (``Eurocopter''), part of the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (``EADS''), has selected the EMS SATCOM eNfusion(tm) HSD-128 high-speed data terminal as part of a communications solution developed by SCOTTY Group plc (``SCOTTY'') that will provide real-time tactical video transmission, videoconferencing and high-speed internet capabilities to German Army CH53 helicopters.

``This contract is a key milestone for our burgeoning business in Europe,'' said Neil Mackay, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EMS SATCOM. ``Working with SCOTTY, we have demonstrated that our eNfusion satellite-based communications systems are robust, key enablers for the German Army's CH-53 helicopters and their missions. We've seen that the demand, particularly from military programs, for these capabilities on mobile platforms continue to rise.''

The communications solution on board the German Army CH-53G helicopter is the result of a tri-lateral project, initiated and led by SCOTTY. Integrated by Eurocopter, the system consists of SCOTTY's video and data communication equipment, and EMS SATCOM's eNfusion system: HSD-128 high-speed data terminal, and Helicom -- AMT-50 high-gain antenna and customized radome. Installed and tested on the CH53-G helicopter in September of 2005, the solution delivers key capabilities to aircraft that previously only had access to high-frequency radio communications. The system's live in-flight tactical video imagery, videoconferencing, and high-speed Internet capabilities securely accessible around the globe and wherever the aircraft happens to be, provide substantial tactical and communications advantages.

``With real-time video capability that performs through even the most strenuous flight maneuvers, the German Army is now equipped with a critical resource, one that is well-suited to increasing operational effectiveness and situational awareness,'' noted Stephen Newell, Director of Military and Government Sales for EMS SATCOM. ``Our systems are upgradeable, SwiftBroadband-ready and deliver what our customers demand -- bandwidth.''

Kurt Kerschat, CEO of SCOTTY Group plc, said: ``This collaboration has produced an incredibly robust system. It meets the complex in-flight requirements of our customers, and we are pleased to have EMS SATCOM's equipment as part of this critical system.''

``The added communications capability opens a new perspective in the fulfillment of missions beyond line-of-sight,'' said Thilo Lees, Program Manager at Eurocopter. ``We see this equipment as the future basis for every kind of aircraft. In terms of connectivity it is the only system providing reliable out-of-area connections; real accessibility is no longer a dream.''

all of which (above) was met by deafening yawns!

A long grind ahead, Cynic? I ditched this one a few months ago as I have given up expecting fireworks. Good luck to anyone who thinks differently - as always I am open to being proved wrong.

i currently hold some of these at break-even ...... company looks to have potential, so may hold on for a while to see if sp comes to life

cynic
To me this is a long termer and accumulate along the way future orders will push the sp in the right direction long term.

"Soul traders" looks like you feelings are justified - this business just does't have that loving feeling anymore. At these prices I might buy - but they can go lower - So will they need equity funding for these orders?
I would have though the business is at-last showing some gumption....at least that's one change over the last six years or more.

Thanks for the feedback, Hangon. Right now I'm reluctant to voice too negative an opinion in case the turnaround starts manifesting. Those larger orders look good for narrowing the full year loss a little.

SCO raised 2.4 mil in Placings in April; I'm not convinced this will be the last time they have to issue equity to raise funds, though. The directors, however, sounded very positive in the Interim results about the company being in a far stronger financial position and have terminated the agreement the company had with Headstart.

Buy on weakness if you're going to buy at all, is my guess. To me, it still looks risky, but at these levels you should at least be able to get your money back. It's understandable that some may be feeling disenchanted. Probably those who are in are wanting to get out and those who are out are thinking about getting in, both based on assessments of what is good value, although obviously if you've lost money it hurts!

Still, WDIK. All IMO, PDYOR, etc.

http://www.rslsteeper.co.uk/NetsiteCMS.php?pageid=8&newsarticleid=13

Is scotty one to have on the watchlist again?

Funny, i have not long unloaded quite a few as i was overweight on this one, only to find them start climbing, still in and still watching...!

Big ted,i have bought @ 1.20/1.25/and 1.90 so breakeven now,wont add but will hold!!

BT,something going on here,12MILL buy just gone through,RNS soon me thinks?

was a cross trade broker to broker... not sure if that means a broker needed them for a client however... i gather Man financial group must have added the other day, although couldn't find a previous holding rns anywhere going back for a couple of years...

sorry not broker to broker but certainly a cross at same price, i agree though an RNS looks imminent, why oh why did i sell so many last week...?!

WHY the hell did you?,no reason to sell,last couple months have been steady and its been on an upward trend from 1p,really sorry to hear that you sold,but hey you may have the last laugh!, i will buy more if it falls to 1/1.25,would not buy at this price

I retained a few, but didn't like the look of the markets, so offloaded many stocks, that weren't performing, daft though as i new the support at 1.1p was strong, and was only a matter of time before another contract was announced, have been in and out of these since motion media days @1.80...! I added lots @1.2p to ave down to 1.4p prob similar to you, now that ave has crept up to 1.5p, slightly gutted is un understatement... lol

BT,if there is no rns,price will fall back as it has historically over last 6 months,look how it trades in between the range of 1.10/1.60,when the spread is to our favour,its a good time to topp up,keep your eye on it and but @ under 1.30

dont like the spread the mm's are playing with, current dropped back on couple sells 1.3-1.6 isn't sport at all...

Well look forward to buying again at 1.10/25,then sell at 1.50

Bt,guessed it would come down,watch it and trade in its range

Contract win news, click HERE.

bought in a few weeks ago. invested a small amount just for fun... has gone down a bit more since then...but may buy a few more..could be an interesting 2008 ?!

another mini-minnow that threatened to do great things but, as so often or even as usual, failed to live up to expectations ...... chart tells the story

There's always a bottom.

Funny, its only half hour ago, i checked the current price, as this WAS one of my old fave's, having sold all holding earlier on in the year for around 1.4p...

I was also on these for a short while and got out at a small lose; the sp does look very low thats with out checking whats been going on with the company and remembering the great expectations the punters had for it.

time for that rusty car analogy i think!

I believe the Black Prince ( nee..Colin Blackbourn)still holds over 60million sco shares...bght at much much higher prices!...he is apparently still confident we shall see at least 3-4p at some point in future!..personally my average price is alot higher but maybe one day as they say..at these levels I am certainly tempted but would prefer some reassurance that there will be no further fund raising at even lower levels than this!!...hence I rate sco at these levels as a speculative BUY!

no you don't! ..... you would just like to see other mug punters suckered in to this pretty flakey outfit in the hope that it will provoke some unwarranted upward activity ..... the stock does not quite warrant an unequivocal AVOID, but it sure as hell is not a good place for your money

Cynic, I think you live up to your name well, and probably the only one that tells it as it is. Have followed your posts on SEO board but unfortunately not close enough to get out in time. I'm probably mistaken but you give us amatures what seems an honest opinion, please keep posting. My average is .09p so I got a long way to go, will be old and grey before then but lets keep hoping.

Well, at least three of SCO's directors have taken my hunch on 4/12/07 and bght some shares yesterday...any further comment from cynic-04/1207-14.53-93of 94- I gather Hoodless have also brought out a positive note forecasting profits of @£600,000 & £900,000 year after with no need for any further fund raising!..I have bght at 0.78p since my last posting on 4/12/07 and I am confident that SCO will be an excellent recovery play over next 6/9 months!..

I bought in at 0.93p a few weeks ago... tempted to go for some more ! however, if you look at the chart above the trend is still down... I'm not sure the sp has bottomed out yet ?

Blimey,beam me up scotty!!!

SCO is about to announce a major contract. Will double from here!

Sounds good ! bring it on !

Hold on to your hat sky. We're about to go vertical.

which way ? up or...down ?
Whens the news coming ?

UP of course.

The news has already leaked here:


http://www.diamond-sensing.com/news_detail1+M54a88960790.html


Expecting an RNS with financial details soon.

and sp rockets(!) 0.12p with a spread on same of 0.15p .... impressive!

I guess your name suits you.

was anything i wrote inaccurate or is it that you didn't like the plain truth put in front of you?

Although welcome news for share holders, the real money was to be made if bought early december, to buy now and beat the spread i'm not certain there will be fantastic gains to be made... do we have any details of expected figure for size of the order, dont forget share price has been diluted from last year when they announced eurocopter deal...

My purchase at under 0.78p before XMas is really looking good- my source says Big contract news expected anyday now!!..roll on SCO upwards and onwards to 20p please!!!

and here's the contract news !

It looking good!

SCOTTY's strategic partnership with Diamond.

The contract has a value of 3.2million to SCOTTY, whilst an additional package
for training and maintenance is currently being negotiated. Integration of the
systems will start immediately with delivery of the aircraft scheduled for
summer this year. The aircraft are to be used for law enforcement purposes.

The SCOTTY mission gear allows 'live video' transmission of daylight and thermal
images generated by onboard Polytech Cobalt 350 turret cameras via a dial-up
satellite link. It can also simultaneously provide onboard video recording (and
preprocessing) in high resolution MPEG4 format. These 'video files' can be
downlinked to the SCOTTY ground station equipment with the integrated SCOTTY
'Store & Forward' application.

This high-tech equipment in combination with the fixed-wing DA42 MPP offers a
number of advantages, such as low operating costs, long endurance and quiet
operation that are of great appeal in comparison to the traditional platforms
often deployed for law enforcement missions.

Rt Hon The Lord Trefgarne PC, Chairman of SCOTTY, stated 'We have been doing
some outstanding work with Diamond to create a one stop shop package which could
revolutionise the surveillance capabilities of law enforcement agencies. This
contract is a vindication of that effort and I am confident that this will prove
to be the first of many similar contracts.'

The selling has somewhat depressed the price this morning, but with the uptrend firrmly in place I expect it to continue climbing over the forseeable future. I wonder if company has any plans for share consolidation?

now you have blinkers on... sorry but the RNS release was the time to sell... heard exactly the same thing a year ago when they won a bigger contract with Eurocopter, they will need a further sizeable contract soon, to push sp considerably further ahead...

Seen these csort of comments before in the Daily Express and nothing's happened...might be different this time though!

SHARE WHISPER: Scotty Group (speculation it is close to securing another contract with aircraft maker Diamond)

(It may account for the bit of sp activity yes'day

The further contracts have indeed arrived, and this one has exploded into life, surprised no-one talking about the (very) impressive increase in sp latter part of week...

BT
It's about time investors have waited a long time for the sp to recover.

Funnily enough, a friend of mine just sold some two weeks ago after holding them for about a year, at a loss. Hey presto after all that time they decide to rocket... I did say things were looking up, but i think after seeing them drop to 0.7p he was happy enough with 1.2p... sod's law, i do believe...!

Chart screams 'spike' Rsi unsustainable, macd divergence to the extreme...

FYI...
"Notable increase in Scotty Group (SCO) was reported by Saturdays Independent, on market rumours of a major contract win. The momentum appeared to spill over into this week, as the shares rose by a further 0.075p to reach 2.075p."

I rest my case...

Big T,
You were spot on!!,will buy on any further weakness.

just fallen off the cliff?

I thought ORE had a bad day whats happened to SCOTTY
