BE,

How much do you think Gabon is producing since it went live in June 25... roughly?

No.

Ahhhhh... dear old Tom.

Of which Wiki says...

"Winnifrith was expelled from the Liberal Democrat Party by Paddy Ashdown in 1993 for allegedly "pandering to racism". He was subject to an investigation by Metropolitan Police Service at the request of the Attorney General at the time, Sir Nicholas Lyell"

and..

"In September 2017, Winnifrith authored an article that claimed that the FCA would not be shutting down Beaufort Securities.[10] In March 2018, Beaufort Securities was shut down, declared insolvent, and charged with fraud"

Glass houses and stones come to mind. I'm sure we can all google and cherry pick....

Has a CEO,... performed so poorly over at least a decade,... ever remained in post?

Let alone,.. appointed his wife in to a senior position ... with the requisite due diligence(?)... and appointed his son as Operations Director?.. how many were interviewed for thosepositions...--- how does Stuart Fowler still have a job/Directorship at WSG when he was responsible for the Sierra Queen fiasco?... His management of that contract cost the company,.. errrr...US.... circa £2M,.... and never ever carried a single fee paying passenger. He should have been sacked then.

Instead,.. the Fowler clan repeated the same old jam tomorrow mantra,..next year will be transformational... and to be fair they were accurate,.. every year we have more shares in issue and share price down. Well next year truly will be transformational ... WSG will make money,...or will a lot of Fowlers be flipping burgers.

The Director General further stated her confidence that TUI Airways will eventually commence operations in Sierra Leone, stressing that the modernization of the Freetown International Airport positions the country favourably in the eyes of global carriers. “The airport is a well-built infrastructure and in the not-too-distant future, we believe TUI Airways will touch down on our tarmac,” she pointed out, thanking all participants for their commitment.

TUI Airways, one of Europe’s largest leisure airlines and a subsidiary of the globally recognized TUI Group, operates a fleet of more than 130 aircraft and serves over 150 destinations across several continents. With existing operations in Senegal and The Gambia, the airline has been steadily strengthening its African portfolio, aligning with rising demand for travel to and from the region. Its potential entry into the Sierra Leonean market is therefore seen as a strategic addition that could enhance tourism, diversify travel options and improve connectivity for the large Sierra Leonean diaspora in the United Kingdom.

The engagement marks another step forward for Sierra Leone’s aviation sector as the country seeks to expand direct international routes following significant upgrades to airport facilities and regulatory reforms. Should discussions with TUI Airways progress to full operational approval, the introduction of a Gatwick–Freetown service would bring considerable benefits, including increased tourism, greater passenger convenience and enhanced global connectivity. Optimism continues to grow that Sierra Leone will soon welcome one of Europe’s most trusted carriers into its skies.

Win,

FYI..... PF has confirmed that there is going another GM, in January.

Feeks,.... I suspect that Dr Maccers--- 'Oh Dear Lads' banner was being directed towards the knockers on here,.. who's days may be numbered.

Three putt,

tbs... it wasn[t a full day,.... more of an afternoon.

So,.. a bunch of internal politics.... and a lot of nonsense about nothing, hence the WSG RNS.

Still, allowed the Big Ears/Misty tag team a little excitement, and a lovely buying opportunity.....

..news coming,... and I don't mean big ears, three putt, misty and Vander have been accumulating!! 😂

Ian,... some Government numbers...

"The proposal applies to certain PALs, which can include venues such as sports

stadia, festivals, music premises, hotels, pubs, clubs, bars, retail stores, shopping

centres, markets, places of worship, and transport hubs. The proposal would directly

affect the persons in control of premises with a capacity of 200 persons or more

(200-799 persons for the standard tier, and 800 persons or more for the enhanced

tier). In addition, there is the potential for other premises to be within scope including

charitable premises, government and local authority buildings, hospitals, police

stations, and courts. The IA estimates that around 154,600 and 24,300 premises will

be in the standard and enhanced tiers, respectively. The large majority of these

premises are in the retail and hospitality sectors.

The IA estimates a net present value of -£1.8 billion in 2024 prices and 2025 present

value base year (-£1.3 billion in 2019 prices; 2020 present value base year). This

consists of £0.4 billion million set-up/year 1 costs and £1.4 billion ongoing costs.

The most significant costs relate to CT interventions (£268 million in year 1 and £838

million over the rest of the appraisal period) and on-going costs in relation to training

(£259.8 million), CT procedure planning (£199.8 million) and risk assessments

(£58.9 million). The NPV figure nets off £20 million in monetised benefits from

reduced crime. Nearly all of the costs are borne by business, with the business NPV

also rounding to -£1.8 billion (but rounding down to -£1.2 billion in 2019 prices; 2020

present value base year). The EANDCB is estimated at £207.5 million, equivalent to

£145.5 million in 2019 prices, 2020 present value base year."

Just to re-iterate... the Enhanced tier of security kicks in at venues with attendees of 800 and above.

This would clearly include all Premier, Champ, League 1 and 2,.. and with many non-league venues, seeing attendances of 2000+

So a potentially a decent market, for sales of security/monitoring/scanning kit and the associated training. --- When you factor in other sports venues,.. Rugby, Horse Racing..... this could be the source of substantial, recurring revenue stream, generated in the UK. Our current screening/guarding CV, ie Houses of Parliament, Scottish Government ... etc., ..is about as good as it gets.

As I understand it, there are a number of trials ongoing.

"We are excited to share that we will be attending the FSOA Football Safety Officers Association conference in October.

At the event, we will be demonstrating the Xonar Technology Inc. TruePort™ security screening system, including its AI-powered flare detection, helping venues identify pyrotechnics quickly and accurately while keeping guest flow smooth and efficient.

"Afrijet Business Service, operating as FLYGABON, the leading airline in Central Africa, has taken delivery of its first brand-new ATR 42-600, becoming the operator of the youngest ATR fleet on the continent. This aircraft enables Afrijet Business Service to complete the transition to an all-ATR -600 fleet, replacing its previous-generation ATR 42-500.

In parallel, the airline has also confirmed its purchase of a second ATR 42-600, scheduled for delivery in 2026. Both aircraft will join FLYGABON’s fleet, which includes five ATR 72-600s.

With a growing network of 17 regular destinations, Afrijet Business Service/FLYGABON is reinforcing its role as a key player in domestic and regional connectivity. From its hub in Libreville, the airline connects four provinces across Gabon – with the aim to connect six by the end of the year – and nearby main regional cities in Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Benin, Sao Tomé & Principe and South Africa.

The ATR 42 is particularly valued for offering the lowest cost per trip on the market, thanks to its exceptionally low operating costs – making it the ideal aircraft to launch and test new routes with minimal financial risk. Combined with its outstanding performance in demanding conditions, especially warm climates, the ATR 42 provides operators with an unbeatable balance of resilience and efficiency. It also often serves as the entry point to regional aviation, with the ATR 72 offering scalable growth, and the overall family concept providing our operators with the flexibility to adapt and thrive.

Nyl Moret-Mba, Managing Director of Afrijet Business Service/FLYGABON, commented: “The arrival of our first ATR 42-600 marks the latest milestone in our ATR fleet modernisation strategy and our commitment to delivering an elevated and more reliable travel experience to our passengers. Both the aircraft ordered in 2024 and the additional one will fly under the FLYGABON livery – the national flag carrier launched last year to support the Gabonese government’s vision for stronger regional connectivity and inclusive economic development across the country.”

Apologies.... my bad... thought they referring to DRC......----- Gabon is definitely up and running,...

3P,

The contract actually says--"the contract is expected to generate revenues of circa US$10m in the first 12 months of operation"---- clearly, despite signing the contract,... it is not 'operational' yet....--- I think you helped this board with the reason why,.. a few months back,... highlighting for us the DRC/Rwanda issues etc.,-- txs. I don't think you highlighted the signing of the current Peace agreement though,... perhaps missed you....
