They currently own land at and or will operate 8 airports(planestations).

These are

Manston in Kent
Lahr in Germany
Parchim in Germany
Cuneo in Italy
Odense in Denmark
Smyrna in the US
Pilsen in the Czech Republic
Ajman airport

The main initial focus is on cargo operation manston is currently the 7th biggest airport in terms of cargo weight in England. cuneo is the only Airport that currently has scheduled services from 3 febuary there will be 3 flights a day to Rome and 1 flight a day to Strasbourg in the summer there will be charter flights.

As well as the airports Manston still has a valuable non airport related land bank which it plans on selling/developping and using the money generated to invest in the planestations.

Especially for you. This is CAA information that identifies the requirements for an airport to accomodate A380 Airbuses.

Socrates - 27 Nov 2003 20:48 - 59 of 156

And this is information on Airbus, including the A380. In particular note the freight version of the A380 and it's 150 tonne payload. Ideal for Manston, don't you think?http://www.airbus.com/product/a380_backgrounder.asp

Socrates:-Thanks for taking the time - at such a late hour -
to give me the info.This is one of the reasons I am on the site i.e.most of
the people are very helpful.rgds aj

People must think I am a workaholic.However,I am far from it.3/4 hours sleep
does me and I work from home so I have a lot of time.

Airbus/Freight/Manston :- I agree

Wiggins:-

A : Florida
B : North America

www.portcanaveral.org/about/airport.htm-Click Melbourne-their deal-International

Airbus ideal as apart from Manston/Florida - Disneyland,Cocoa Beach,Cape
Canaveral,Port Canaveral : Boating playground for the super rich-----Cargo
will be a rapidly expanding part of their business there AND throughout North
America.Also,they plan on replicating Florida operation in other parts of
North America i.e.planestation.Also,the network will enable them bring
passengers from most places in America to Disneyland without the huge delays
at Orlando International i.e.main airport for Florida.

City/Analysts have NO idea as to the North American operation potential to
earn Billions of dollars.

There are quite a few sites for Wiggins but this London Manston Airport one is probably the best.

Thanks.aj

Apparently will re-list afetr 15-12-03, also understand somebody is interested in buying the company, when it comes back to market expect a lot of volatility, if it hits 10p been told to get out, which was possibly means the offer for the company may be slightly less than this?

Golfclub12 - 05 Dec 2003 09:48 - 71 of 156

i bought in at 14.5 a few years ago , so what will happen to my shares if the company is bought out? Also WGG is worth more than 10 a share!

ajren - 05 Dec 2003 09:55 - 72 of 156

My instinct is to HYPE this company so I have to be careful lest I be guilty
of what I am complaining about i.e.HYPE.Therefore,I will say I do not think
there is any reason for Holders to feel Negative.rgds aj

Golfclub12 - 05 Dec 2003 12:12 - 73 of 156

I live near to the airport and i think despite the MAG who are all against the development i think that it will "take off just nicely" all the infrustructure is there and there is the opportunity for a rail link if the local KCC and the gov can get the acts together. Come on London Manston!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

ajren - 05 Dec 2003 12:24 - 74 of 156

Great news.Manston - Florida : Disneyland,etc could be an outsdanding
revenue earner.Also,Americans to Manston will be a cash generating
machine for your area.Do you agree ?
Do you know the latest planning position on their Londoncityracecourse ?

Aj

Yes i do agree that if the Yanks invade it should bring millions in to the area over a period of time which isnt the wealthest area in the uk. Also with airport growing it will also bring new jobs.
With regard to an earlier statement about the take over of wiggins i do hear various rumours but one was for wiggins to join another company and not be taken over!!! Surely this shouldnt affect the shares to much long term?

As for the race course i will have to dig some articles out at home which wiggins send through to all share holders, If they hav'nt been filed!!:)

Regards G12

So the yanks arrive and take a taxi to Ramsgate / Margate to get the feel of an English Seaside town in the fifties. They meet the locals that all talk with a funny accent as they are all asylum seekers from eastern Europe.

The only food available is chips and if they are lucky to be there in the evening they can watch the local wrestling featuring bar stools, pool cues and the occaisional broken bottle.

I'm sure it will have them returning in droves.
