Mine would be a Zinc and lead musket ball or even possibly a silver bullet...

The Indonesian crash would appear to be pushing human factors data to the forefront once again. What were the pilots looking at, and what were they doing prior to the crash. Currently the (orange) black box’s only record aircraft and limited voice data. Our tech is quite conceivably going to be crucial to future data requirements.
Monitoring pilots, training more pilots, and eventually removing one from each cockpit plus the monitoring of air traffic controllers is ongoing, but it’s gratifying to hear from the b.o.d. that progress has been made.
The potential for our aviation division has always been huge, but now perhaps a little more obvious to the wider community.

These are the figures we were given previously, they must have increased in the meanwhile. 10k vehicles each doing hundreds of kilometres per day... I am not taking either 1.3 billion or 10 (or 11 k )as being updated current figures.

Brilliant news that it’s in line with expected costs, however just keep in mind that up to half is based on estimates. Onwards!

DunnaRunna since you asked... spreading risk is always a smart move, I resist the temptation to name alternative investments, so would just say try clicking on the names of trusted posters to see what companies they are also commenting on... nothing to lose, but maybe something to research.

Terry is that news called a scoop...

Seeing2020 your 0723 cheered me up no end, very funny well done.
To be fair, looking at the sp,(plus news flow, anger at the tone of rns statements and general concerns of shareholders), if I was organising the AGM then distance from London would definitely be a consideration. I understand that there is an island off the coast of New Zealand with a ferry that leaves regularly (every other good Friday ) that is even further... but Canberra is not a bad effort.
Seriously though...We actually only need one of us to go, armed with all of our questions and concerns. What everybody is hoping for (and expecting) is that the following AGM will be held in London, and that tin hats are no longer required.

Wow, now that’s a tough one to argue! My personal opinion is that we need to retain our key people, and clearly to do that they should be paid appropriately, treated well and given generous long term bonus arrangements. However if they happen to drop an almighty clanger, or behave recklessly in the process...sometimes it’s difficult to strike the right balance, and agreement on appropriate termination benefits in advance is not easy.

We all make mistakes, and sometimes the decisions we take don’t work out - despite our best intentions, that I can accept. What is not acceptable are the unanswered questions about both the future direction of the company and the implications of recent events.
Before we started producing gold, or even finished building the plant we had an sp of just over 38p, since then the wholly unacceptable drifting down has been allowed to continue. This needs to be addressed. Secondly the bh issue needs a better explanation than simply not to be pursued. Finally there needs to be a series of updates addressing the recent problems that have been highlighted. This is not rocket science, and neither is it unreasonable.
The mine was built successfully (tick), the budget was adhered to (tick), the ramp up phase was successful (tick), first and second quarter production was in line with expectations and all the while the sp slides ever further down. What price the sp if any of the above hadn’t been successful ... and then it rains. Now we need leadership, there needs to be a commitment to address the issues and keep us, the owners informed with regards to progress.

Wilson 63, this new Xilinx ACAP technology as a development beyond FPGA, sounds like it has been developed with us in mind, but we need someone far better qualified than me to assess. Great find, I’m sure we will be hearing more about this in due course.

Well done Lewbo, very interesting numbers.
In addition we have still have a yet undisclosed rail contract to consider, a fledgling aviation division, off road, and fleet...( although that’s something of an unknown ) and last but by no means least, a whole load of data which grows daily.
The days when you can still get 16 shares for your pound are strictly limited.
Numpty

Good luck to anyone who did sell at 14p, but much more importantly I wish I had!
Looking at what We are currently being offered for our shares I just think at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask, 6p really is highway robbery.
Numpty

S2020 All very valid points, but we also have a rail contract still in limbo and results of the London bus trials.
It may be unrealistic to expect a steer on guardian at this stage, especially if the report on availability and reduced cost of memory has altered the situation
Numpty

When you consider our pr, or lack of it, is it through design, neglect or indifference... Yesterday we received a gift from ncap, more importantly it was a gift freely given that wasn’t buried in nda’s.
Trumpeting bad news and burying good news is now undeniably a well worn path but why? As rightly stated it does indicate that a placing is unlikely soon but are we missing something. I have come to the conclusion that the shareholders are now so low on the list of priorities that we are simply an inconvenient necessity.
Whilst we are enjoying our headlong charge towards complete domination of auto, it would be nice to think our dismal share price will SOON be reflecting this.

S7eve083 your efforts to talk down both the shareprice and sentiments is accepted as an unfortunate part of this message board, your comments about ken however are simply out of order

Terry, yes we were / are testing on London busses, it followed on from the trams. I seem to recall that it was on two routes involving approximately 70 vehicles. I have not heard anything since.
Numpty

Just imagine the scenario had smarteye been the gm supplier, we would have been inundated with nauseous details morning noon and night. They would have been shouting it from the roof tops for all the world to hear. The assembled journalists would be left in no doubt about where the tech originated from. Our technology is undoubtedly best in class, but our pr frankly is both dismal and predictably unchanging.
Numpty

Or is it that we are pre ss having fundamentally re organised (and promised updates haven’t arrived.) Once you have been caught out with other projects it’s not unreasonable to be a little jittery.
Don’t imagine I am attempting to talk this down, in fact quite the opposite, but when expectations are not met, your hard earned commitment can feel a little more vulnerable.

Terry there have been several guesstimate figures, but I’ve not heard anything more tangible, certainly nothing official. This explains my tendency to describe the situation rather than include a monetary value.
I have previously posted the following and found nothing yet to challenge the figures...
Boeing expect 240,000 additional pilots in Asia in the next 20 years, so 700,000 globally seams reasonable. In this timeframe an additional 16,000 airliners and all flying around in the same airspace as today, hence my enthusiasm for all three parts of the aviation division.
