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.

EUjet will begin with 20 flights a day, rising to 30 in October and 45 by March.

Mr Halper said:"We are running three courses and the first two are for people with no experience of airlines. They are mainly local people from Thanet and Canterbury."
People will be able to buy tax-free products from the in-flight boutique. Mr Halper said:"We see ourselves as Kent's airline. We are getting support from the people of Kent and that's all we can ask for."
He warned people to book now for flights at Christmas.

Do you know the date of that article?

Thanks.

Hi apple
Yes it was 2nd August

Thanks

Looks like one buy this AM 52000 the rest sells one million five hundred thousand. Not a very good showing, some good news is desperately needed here.

if you are willing to hold September is the month for this company, still awaiting the liverpool sale anyone know anything.

PTG promised a statement on Liverpool development, I think it was to have been made in June 'due to speculation in the press' was the reason for the intended of the announcement. Seems to be blowing in the wind at the moment. This lack of communication could well be part of the cause of the stagnent share price, apart of course from the general market mood.
I will look forward to September then Hotrott

Go on then, PERFORM!!!!!!!!!

Not one single definate buy trade logged today, that must be somewhat unusual. However on the plus side the price remained unchanged. If these sells are going to the MM's/brokers they must be happy to take some stock on board at the price.

Excellent jj50 thanks.

jj. may be on the wrong track here but does 'cutting' work? I always copy. Just thinking you may not be able to 'cut'and paste from sites.
