Going up or down ?
As the original thread was cancelled today (and with the large swings in the share price) i thought we needed another one

Just a reminder that when you register once banned from the BBs, its an idea to try and disguise yourselves posting on the same thread, using the same language doesn't take someone with a degree to work out.

We have some nice little systems that do this in other ways, we keep log files of all actions by those multiple names.

If those who are doing this want to persist we reserve the right to publish those multiple aliases.

is it my imagination or has Jack been rumbled?
i note that his long post from someone called Paul Scott has also been deleted

chris - it isn't apparent, so is that an increase or a decrease, and in either case what were the holdings beforehand?

Apparently an increase of 300,000, but wtfdik i can't make head nor tail same as you cynic. Info re RNS comes from across the road.

Yep that's how I read it CC, about time those RNS's were made to make sense.

ah well, if you had looked at the original, it would have told you

What? Just go to News in the header cynic, doesn't get any more original than that.
Failing that lob an email to your mate sticky. No need to shoot the messenger old chap :0)

Aberforth Partners LLP - Have reached a threshold of 13% increasing their holding from 28,152,966 to 28,469,766 an extra 316,8oo shares.

now now chris, don't be so tetchy

though it won't print out properly, the info is very clearly set out
if you go to Section 8, the first part is headed
A: Voting rights attached to shares
you'll find it is all set out and easy to read

The above figures were on this board first, Not C+P, as I have seen them on others. :-))

I don't know which site you girls use - but the horses mouth is often much 'clearer' - Aberforth Partners LLP > 13%

i just went to the news section here

profit banked at 63p
market has got the bit between its teeth this morning so anything that breathes may get bought

Philip de Klerk, Chief Financial Officer, purchased 26,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company each at a price of 0.575 pounds per share.

Took his shareholding up to 120k ,not a massive amount ,however read in to that what you will .

Interesting to see that Broker consensus is still for a rise from here.

NEW CLIENT FOR FOUR NEW AIRCRAFT

Avation PLC, (LSE: AVAP) the commercial passenger aircraft leasing company, has entered into lease agreements for four new aircraft to be operated by UK commercial airline Flybe.

The four new ATR72-600 aircraft will be progressively delivered new to Flybe during the course of 2015 and early 2016. The lease rate revenues are consistent with operating leases of this type and term. The initial duration of the leases is six years with the client having further optional six year extension provisions.

The Company owns a significant number of option delivery positions on new ATR72-600 aircraft. The above aircraft represent three of the 2015 option delivery positions and one 2016 delivery position.

To provide a platform for further medium term growth the Company has firmed up its options with the manufacturer ATR for the delivery of five additional new ATR72-600 aircraft in 2016.

Jeff Chatfield, Executive Chairman of Avation PLC, said: "It is pleasing to continue to diversify the airline operator base of aircraft owned by the Company with the addition of Flybe. It is understood that the aircraft will remain on the UK register however they will be operated by Flybe in Scandinavia on behalf of Scandinavian Airlines System. Our strategy is to diversify our risk by geographic dispersion of our aircraft fleet and entering into these operating leases are consistent with that objective. The Company has a large proportion of its aircraft in Asia - Pacific and will continue to seek clients in this region, however, the Company views leasing aircraft to Northern Europe provides appropriate diversification."
