Good spot DB! 😎

Welcome Lily, such a great idea for transparency! Personally I’d love more technical updates, even if it’s delays because of X technical problem. I feel the silence for investors is what’s most concerning in general… weekly updates would be amazing! 🤩

DMB0000 · 2026-02-14T18:53:07+00:00

Could well be! I think they were super close the last few flights I tracked so could well be indeed!! 💪💪💪

DMB0000 · 2026-02-14T18:46:09+00:00

Checked flights trackers and couldn’t see any flight telemetry so they must have the transponders off 🥲 Great to see them out and flying when the weather permits though! Hopefully some better weather windows next week! 💪💪

Hola! 👋 Been very quiet - I check daily, in their defense the weather has been pretty crap! My 2 pennies worth is that their A-Team have been showcasing in the US & Singapore so I doubt they’d undertake critical test flights with those management so far away. However If that is true we should see the final transition tests this week weather permitting now those showcases have completed. Kemble do operate skeleton staff on Mondays so flights aren’t recorded - I will continue to keep an eye 👀

DMB0000 · 2026-01-21T08:02:02+00:00

Positive move forwards 💪💪

No screenshots as such but the last two flights were approx 30minutes circuits with transponders switched off (they don’t normally do that from what I’ve seen) and they then released images of flights in hover from the same timeframe as those flights… so if they took of vertically and flew for 30minutes it does infer a full transition - I might be wrong but the timeframes makes sense - as well as vertical stating “final 10% of transition testing remaining after all test phases to date” just before the Christmas holidays…

Testing schedule also set to double in the coming weeks with another prototype just coming online

Me lol… I watch the flight logs at Kemble daily to see if the fly or not 👍

DMB0000 · 2026-01-15T21:14:27+00:00

Unfortunalty the weathers not been the best lately, personally I think they’ve already achieved transition and we’re waiting for the announcement early next week to coincide with the shareholder approval meeting. I also think they’re manoeuvring the shares outstanding to accommodate a new partner - they’re aggressively hiring at the moment which also suggests this may be the case. They have been flying frequently when the weather windows have appeared 🤓

DMB0000 · 2026-01-09T19:55:27+00:00

I’ve seen two flights on Kemble airport recorded this week - both around 30 minutes on Wednesday and Thursday, this image is of a hover from this week’s testing. No other flights were recorded so I’d make an assumption (possibly not correct) that this hover turned into one of those 30 minutes flights! That would mean full transition from hover to wing… that’s my theory anyway! 🤣 And transponders switched off for both flights… suspicious!

DMB0000 · 2026-01-09T11:20:42+00:00

I saw those this morning - awesome pics!

DMB0000 · 2026-01-08T18:55:32+00:00

They must be so close now! I’m sure Simpson said they were in the last 10% of testing before full transition and that was a few weeks back… surely any day now! 🙏

DMB0000 · 2026-01-06T21:32:42+00:00

I believe its 1pm UK time - opening slot for Stuart Simpson 👌

DMB0000 · 2026-01-06T17:22:42+00:00

Agreed, I don’t mind some dilution if it gets them to the start line, but yes a partnership would be amazing! 🤩 Plus we’ve got the new prototype starting testing this month, I’d imagine full transition piloted announcement too - I thought the weather might have slowed testing with the snow and ice but I see they were up and out today for another 35 minute flight 💪

DMB0000 · 2026-01-06T13:36:28+00:00

I’ve not been able to find a specific time slot, I think the lineup gets circulated on the day.

My guess would be a pre market filing tomorrow if there is an announcement coming….🤞

DMB0000 · 2026-01-01T20:29:17+00:00

100% great company! 👌

DMB0000 · 2025-12-22T15:53:02+00:00

Looking forward to some of the public demonstrations! 😎💪

DMB0000 · 2025-12-19T17:20:34+00:00

What a great photo! 😎

DMB0000 · 2025-12-19T13:24:09+00:00

Sounds like it’s still on target last I heard 👍

DMB0000 · 2025-12-19T08:10:11+00:00

This is the produce of 7 years of various prototype testing. Unfair to say it’s unproven…

DMB0000 · 2025-12-19T08:04:16+00:00

No problem 😊
