Thank you for the 'handy hints' sg, - appreciated here.

Just honest Spike, you’ll see.

From what is being said re sells above the bid and able to unload stock, then it seems someone is buying.

[spike_1] 21/3/2019 20:04

sg - your wicked!

Just wait LTH folk, that said it’s near term.

When ‘things’ start to arrive it’s going to shock all.

The patient will say “I bloody knew it’” and give themselves a pat on the back.

Well you don’t know it, but you know what you think are the prospects are (and some)😎

No, no, no.............

‘to discuss the impact of graphene on the global economy’

It can’t be, surely the US can’t be thinking graphene can be so important.

The share prophet lot will put them straight, I’ll see if I can sort them an invite.

employ a long spoon.

Really good news today.Nanene can be produced in US and sold for dollars .Orthogonal to any chaos here.

Sounds busy to me ? Enjoy your evenings ! Thx neill and co for yr hard graft and great craft :) best ellis

"We are already pursuing a number of substantial opportunities in the US, particularly through the support of the National Graphene Association, and I expect our level of activity to significantly increase in the coming months, particularly given the high number of enquires we have had for the supply of our graphene and other 2D materials from leading US companies."

EVENT 2: GRAPHENE ON CAPITOL HILLMAY 22 KENNEDY CAUCUS ROOM, RUSSELL SENATE BUILDING"Graphene On Capitol Hill" with Senator Roger Wicker is an invitation-only event where key government agencies such as the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, NASA, Economic Development Administration and industry leaders invited by Senator Wicker will join he and other U.S. legislators and international dignitaries to discuss the impact of graphene on the U.S. and global economy and strengthening international ties.   The program will discuss platforms for creating U.S. competitiveness in graphene and invigorating graphene-focused collaborations between business and government on a national and international scale.

Just going through terrance barkans tweets here, and just occured to me, is it fair to say there's a step change in graphene interest going on ? Best ellis

The Graphene Council @GrapheneCouncil

"It is really exciting here at the #jecworld2019 conference to see all of the interest in graphene. The Graphene Council is here representing the community and our Corporate Members with a stand and we have been non-stop busy with queries from companies that want to use graphene."

Indeed hew; the bio of patrick reads very well in this regard. There is a testimonal re his work at xg sciences at the bottom of his linkedin page - which i tried to, but couldn't, copy across. Well worth a read. Seems a good egg to me and a great asset to vrs. Atb. Ellis.

[hew] 21/3/2019 18:18

Catching up.

Ellis, thanks for great detail re the presentation opportunity to Collins Aerospace on the 25th - so fully merits the RNS mention: huge potential as future client. I imagine our involvements with two Chinese aerospace outfits will get a mention - Oh, by the way....and of course, our involvement in cabin interiors for a major global airline is progressing well - FAA certification? Oh, yes, a while ago....

I once worked in technical support to sales for a US high tech organisation (part of United Technologies). Clients were used to heavy Hollywood presentation styles from the US people. I found that a gentler approach worked rather well with my Brit accent, dropping in major pluses with an "Oh yes, naturally we do that, just routine for us - think I might have a slide on it, actually."

Schmally, thanks for the advice re the Reks post - well warned.

[ellissj] 21/3/2019 17:53

Agreed - good intel stateside here. Vrs looking increasingly well positioned in the usa - just as interest generally picking up as the need arises eg here, as the switch to EV production gathers pace, 2D materials lightweighting solutions will catch greater attention ? aimo. Best ellis

Shavian, take a look at his linked-in page.

hxxps://www.linkedin.com/in/pjabbott

He was far from a grunt :)

[shavian] 21/3/2019 17:07

So pleased to read that Patrick Abbott is a Marine (“Once a Marine, always a Marine” they say).

Question is: was he just a Grunt or a Flying Leatherneck? In 1970 we trained the first batch of USMC Harrier pilots at RAF Wittering, and what a great bunch of guys they were. Half of them were as sharp as tacks, but the the other half were as thick as pigsh*t, fresh from flying Helis in Vietnam. Lucky the Harrier was so easy to fly, or we could have had real problems.

When they got back to Cherry Point SC they all had to show off the new jumpjet at every hick airshow on the East coast. One of them did his flying backwards bit with much too much gusto for his experience, and forgot the right way to stop, which was using the nozzles. He stuck his tail in the air to stop, and promptly nosedived into the runway. The jet broke apart and he was auto-ejected sideways, landing with a half-deployed parachute, miraculously almost unscathed.

This was considered quite unremarkable at the time, because he was a Marine, and had landed on his head!

If you don’t believe me it’s all on a film somewhere in the archives.

Good strong guys, the US Marines. Welcome Patrick Abbott!

“podcast tomorrow” - just read iton twitter, didn’t see that earlier.

[bisho4] 21/3/2019 17:01

NR said there will be a podcast tomorrow, on his twitter page.

[chezt] 21/3/2019 16:59

The RNS today was excellent news, a key piece in the development of VRS strategy, so much so, that I would have expected a podcast. As there wasn’t one and I haven’t seen anything on the liklihood of one occurring, it makes me think more news is on the way, maybe tomorrow. It Could even be the much awaited update re: Aecom which would tie in nicely with today’s US news. So is it the intention to bring out a single podcast to cover both items? It would make sense to me. Here’s hoping...

Big range of panels inc honey comb. Of course, if strength of polygrene means a one piece solution can be found, then less parts, less manufacture = cost savings - as per aircraft part already installed. Depends what is possible, their best offering below. Keeping an eye out for developments here ! Aimo. Best ellis

Honeycomb Panels

When choosing interior aircraft structural panels, Collins Aerospace’ comprehensive line of standard and custom honeycomb panels deliver safety, durability and weight savings. Through precise material and process selection, in-house experts evaluate the properties of the materials in customer designs and provide alternative solutions as necessary. These solutions can help reduce weight, increase strength and/or reduce cost.

"Collins Aerospace offers strong in-house research and development services at our ISO 9001/AS9100 Rev D certified facility to support individual panel requirements, ensuring the end product is exactly what is required."

EG:-

'aeroFEATHER™ Honeycomb PanelsLow weight, high strength'

"Make your internal aircraft structures up to 38 percent lighter with Collins Aerospace's aeroFEATHER™ family of interior honeycomb structural panels. aeroFEATHER delivers the strength and performance of a double-ply aramid fiber panel design in a single-ply panel for significant weight savings."

"aeroFEATHER panels can be utilized in the construction of interior monuments, cabinetry, galleys, lavatories, seat surrounds and privacy dividers, side ledges and side walls, and luggage bins. This unique panel construction provides high strength when weight reduction is critical."
