THRU getting major coverage in the US. See link below. Key quote: "Could be deployed nationwide in months"

This is very telling of the potential coming from the US

My feeling is that we have a 2-3 year run before they sell. This is just about to take off and management will be foolish to sell in the near term. If we start seeing airport trials at large airports, we should see another level of interest in this stock.

No mention of which technology. Big opportunity for Thruvision to pursue.

Bay Area Rapid Transit looking at Thruvision

Here is another pilot of Thruvision vs Qinetiq at bus depots in New York. They also ran a pilot in the NYC subway system a few months back.

Below is an article that confirms that it is Thruvision. There is another reference to a technology on a tripod. My guess is that it is a solution from Qinteiq. I researched that and all that does is show a green or red indicator if someone has a device underneath the clothing. I dont know how anyone would choose that over a Thruvision solution which shows size and shape of the object.. My feeling is what Thruvision is doing is unique and may very well be the future of body scanning at airports and other public places.

Assuming this is THRU, get ready for many more of these announcements.

I prefer they keep the money and use it for operations.
Thruvision is facing off against Qinetiq in several tests at rail stations. From what I can see of Qinetiq, it is an inferior product. I know us holders of the stock are frustrated but it appears there is tremendous upside in these trials. Any thoughts? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/27/tsa-tests-bomb-detection-technology-amtrak-new-yorks-penn-station/376312002/
I would rather they keep the money and invest is sales and marketing or R&D. By the way be on the look out for the trials being done in the Los Angeles subway system.
Here in the US, there is a major effort under way to test "stand-off explosive detection units". This N.Y. Times article should get every current investor in Thruvision excited about the potential. Note the picture in the article - look familiar? Chuck Schumer who is referenced in this article is the leader of the Democratic Party and from New York. Imagine if New York City subway implements Thruvision. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/17/nyregion/tsa-bombs-subways-schumer.html

This is a perfect use case for DGB technology. Unfortunately GS4 was not the security company who had the contract for this arena as I believe they are now deploying ThruVis at venues like this.
ThruVis sounds like it would completely end the humiliation of these instances and do a better job of finding something http://wapo.st/2ogbsMM
I understand the list of big holders, but would think there may be certain mutual funds, etfs that are required to hold any equity in the LSE? Maybe I am wrong. Kiwi to your point the free float is so low that if moving to the LSE did require this then even less supply would be out there.
My thought is that if moved to main then I would assume certain funds would have to buy shares and perhaps in the eyes of some investors added credibility to consider investing in it.
Beamer, thank you for sending. Very helpful. I am surprised that it stated "There is no mandated size or time at which a company must move and there are billion pound businesses doing very well on AIM." I would think moving DGB to main would be a big event that would bring much needed attention to the equity.
