fall is accelerating into the close
sehr interessant!

Tanking now. Poor doodlebug 3 1/2.

Support at 67p and 63p.

I have heard their is a negative report out on stockopedia but cant be bothered to short owt at the moment as I start with the new high rise flats next week.

Well done with your short Cyners.

Could fall to 72p next week.

sticks - it's only a small position as greedy on margin - and also quite a risky trade

Better than a kick in the teeth cyners, had a corker of a day myself aswel. Like christmas all over again.

have kept it open ...... last night's Dow was my few hours of glory

Ive gone long again.

All the bad news is now discounted in the Price and Ive heard whispers the 10 rust buckets at Exeter are about to fly.

Plus we have this......On Friday 28 November 2014 the Group will host a Capital Markets day at its headquarters in Exeter for analysts and investors. This event is intended to give greater insight into Flybe's operations.

Could just be a coincidence BUT also maybe a great time to release new news.

If true it should see the SP move solidly back upwards.

Flybe plane STILL sitting at airport a month after blaze
Jan 23, 2015 16:16 By Jilly Beattie, Colin Breen



A disabled Flybe plane still sits at Belfast International Airport, one engine removed and awaiting a £4million repair.

The 78-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop was struck by an engine fire last month with 76 passengers on board.

It landed safely amid a full emergency operation on the ground and all the travellers and airline staff were evacuated without injury.

The plane was subject to a thorough inspection following the terrifying incident at 30,000ft.

It has remained on the ground for the last 39 days but Flybe say repairs have now started.

A source told the Mirror: “The plane is in situ at Aldergrove International Airport and will be there for some time to come.

“The repair costs have been estimated at well over £3million and closer to £4million and that’s quite a cost for a smallish airline.

“But Flybe are taking the repair of this plane very seriously and while they want the plane back in the air, they will not compromise on safety. 
So they’re waiting for the repairs and tests to be completed before they will be satisfied that passengers can be allowed on board.

“It costs a lot of money for this type of repair plus it costs airlines a lot to have a plane grounded. But when safety is the priority, that’s what has to happen.”



Initial reports from Flybe indicted a fire had occurred in the left engine and had been extinguished by the pilot using an automatic safety system.

But last night an aviation expert questioned the seriousness of the problem that has been uncovered by the investigation.

He said: “There is no doubt there was a fire in the engine but it concerns me that the repairs have been so delayed and it would suggest there was something more serious.

“Flybe would have been working with scant information when the incident happened and no doubt they understood that a fire had broken out in the engine. At that stage when they made their media statement it would have been impossible for them to know exactly what else might have gone wrong, if anything.

“Under normal circumstances a fire in an engine would be extinguished and the plane landed. The fire-damaged engine would be have been removed and inspected and a new one fitted within a matter of days.

“However if the pylon, the horizontal structure used to mount the engine onto the wing, also has to be replaced then that would create a delay. It’s not the sort of thing that would be kept as a spare. It would have to be taken from the production line and that could take weeks. If this is what has happened in the December Flybe incident, then it would suggest the plane suffered a serious fire and in that case I would have expected the wing to be damaged too.”

Passengers on board reported hearing a popping sound shortly after their plane left Glasgow bound for Belfast City Airport.

The engine fire broke out when the BE130 flight was travelling at 30,000 feet over the Irish Sea and it was diverted to Aldergrove.

Passenger Simon Tiernan, 31, from Hillsborough, Co Down, said at the time: “It was terrifying. I said my prayers, over and over and quickly made peace with myself that this could be the end.

“I had heard a popping noise from the engine area on the left hand side of the plane and as I looked over I could see amber flames at the engine.

“My heart started racing and I felt I was about to have a heart attack. It was a moment of absolute panic but there was nothing I could do. The Flybe pilot and the staff are my heroes tonight and I can’t thank them enough for getting us home safely.”

John Palmer, Flybe’s Director of Operations, told the Mirror: “Flybe continues to work closely with the relevant authorities following this incident. After an extensive inspection by the manufacturers the necessary repairs have started.

“The aircraft will remain at Belfast International Airport until these repairs are completed and certified to the highest standards as required by the aviation authorities, the manufacturers and Flybe, before returning into service.”

“The repair costs have been estimated at well over £3million and closer to £4million and that’s quite a cost for a smallish airline.....................................


will have put profits back another year imho.

surely insured against such an incident, at least for the repairs themselves
that said, there's prob a big deductible

Depends what the insurance experts find. Say if its neglect..........well.

very unlikely, and even then it would have to have been wilful rather than just by omission

Read the article again. There are give aways.
