Time now for all us Wiggins watchers to move with the times and start using Planestation, the new company identity. The name Wiggins Group plc has now disappeared from the database at Companies House and Planestation is now listed on the LSE website.
So fellow travellers, forget Wiggins, the name of the game is now PLANESTATION. Lets hope it goes like an express train.

Good news from RNS news
15/01/04 18:14 Holding(s) in Company-Replace RNS
15/01/04 16:29 Holding(s) in Company RNS
UBS INVESTMENT BANK acquired
39,009,882 shares
3.78%
They then realised that this was below the threshold for disclosure under Schedule 10 & told us to forget that they said it.
But we know the good news & they can't take it back.
As shares mag said : "The important point is to overcome past impressions and watch where the professional money is going."
I think they have seen the fact that the market cap is only 51million but the assets are said to be worth 500million.
So this share should go up by a factor of 10 just to match the asset value so maybe x20 or x30 is not out of the question.
Previous board made a bit of a mess BUT
Geoffrey Ambrose is new non-exec director, previously General Manager at Stansted,and Planning Director at Heathrow
see
http://www.lemminginvestor.com/
Watch out for more board & management changes & the share price will get a kick upwards each time.

Believe me folks this stock is about to FLY. I have held for the past 4yrs with the LONG TERM view and I can assure you it has been a roller coast ride all the way but I have always had faith in the concept and it is about to unfold.

If the discussions PTG plc are having with Cosmos as reported in the DMail are successful then they will indeed fly.

I had a thought, no don't take the mickey, Travelstation have arranged four holiday flights from Manston so far that we know of. If there is one thing that holiday providers and aircraft operators don't like, it has to be pre-positioning aircraft. It costs money and takes flying time out of aircrews' permissable duty hours.
There will therefore be a financial incentive to obtain holiday flights and charters that inter-connect with the already planned flights. Does that make sense?
From little acorns mighty oaks do grow, or words to that effect.

Socrates, I assume that you mean
http://www.travelstation.co.uk/
Have you asked PTG if thay have plans to obtain holiday flights and charters that inter-connect with the already planned flights?
Maybe such questioning will keep them focused on it even if they are already planning it.

Received the Interim Report today along with the design of the revamped submission for the proposed racecourse at Fairlop, what a plush brochure it is too which will be presented to the authorities for approval next month. In addition they sent a single coloured page advertising Travelstation.
Things are looking up folks.
Have a great weekend.

Strange to think that Travelstation might be the catalyst that gets PTG off the ground!

In case you missed this line at the bottom of the Travelstation web page:
TravelStation is a member of PlaneStation Holdings 2003.
It is my belief that Travelstation will become a driving force in the growth of Planestation, that is, it will help to crystalise any demand for services from, between or to Planestations.

I would not be surprised to see Ryanair make an announcement soon re 1 of their airports. It would suit their pattern of growth.

Looks like a useful 2004 Punt if ever I saw one. Reminds me of Rhoose Airport before it had an injection of capital , a rename to Cardiff International Airport, and now thriving. Bit like Manston.
The fact that we are all talking about it is a good sign! It has come onto the Radar of the big boys and the announcement by UBS INVESTMENT BANK they they acquired 39,009,882 shares representing 3.78% of the share capital, only to realise that this was below the threshold for disclosure under Schedule 10 resulting in them removing the RNS announcement !! was a boo boo in our favour - for once! I tipped CENES the other week - a few days before it shot up - yum yum - and this is another one.

I note however that there is still a large seller taking advantage of any price rise, thats spoiling things at the moment, the warrants are however doing well.

Did anyone watch the 'reality drama' about gridlock on Englands roads and the effect this had on Heathrow airport? The program played out a scenario about the results of the M25 and hence all other roads around london being totally grid locked and this in turn meant that none of the Air traffic controllers could get to work to relieve the current shift. As a result the tired air traffic controllers ended up with too much traffic to control and this led to a crash between two planes above Heathrow.
The BBc stated at the end of the drama words to the effect that this could conceivably happen, although the air traffic control people denied it and said that they haven't had an accident at Heathrow in 50 yrs.
The programme for me highlighted the need to reduce traffic to the larger airports and this can only be good for small airports like PTG's.
I bought some more ptg this morning.
