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.

Business may look ok going forward (if you look far enough) but this is the umpteenth time they have gone to the city for yet more money - there is only so may times they can be bailed out before they go bust.
How can a company continually making losses, in debt and regularly refinancing be on a sound basis??? Also, for a company in this position to have bought a large share in another loss making business - hmmm
They are in a highly competitive market pricewise and the loss of the MK freight business may well have been the start of the end - i hope not because the concept is correct - the business model isnt

Todays 'ill fortune' makes the warrants they issued a few months ago something of a collectors item - if only on eBay !! Its the first time ive been on the receiving end of a 50% drop in one day ...but what chance of a repeat tomorrow?

Much less of a drop today, only 7.3%...so far! Glad to have got out of these at 59p, and that cost me money.

If it continues on this track Jeff I think the two of us will be able to take it over! We will ask Socs to join us though, he is fond of PTG. Being serious for a moment, if it is possible about PTG, I find it incredible that the directors have been able to lead this company into such a mess in such a short time and all done under the nose of the Pru, they must be seething!! What next? Sell out to the bondholders (if there are any) wipe out the debts and the shareholders QMOT & TWT style, seems the easy way to get a company for next to nothing and the shareholders haven't got a leg to stand on.

Remember seeing a prog on TV. Where the houses were built around an airstrip and the owners taxied their private aircraft vitually up to their front door. Lot of very wealthy people with some super aircraft, in the US of course.

I'd be more sympathetic but I'm in the same boat...still never mind Christmas hols shortly, plenty to eat & drink with healthy walks in the countryside and dreams of really getting it right with the next one.

I note that BAA has announced a boost to passenger figures because of people flying off to winter sports holidays. No reason why KIA may not have a similar boost on appropriate routes.

There is talk around Manston that routes to Bonn and Cologne are on the cards for early 2005, and possibly later on, Oslo and a possible Finland destination (how many destinations are there in Finland?) Bonn/Cologne thought to be daily, most likely weekdays.
