Michael Hickman Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Exported all current retailers, imported into a new Google Map, that appears to have some additional features that were not available with old version. Map is still published from my web pages, and most links should work, but any direct links will not. Happy landings Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bowker Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hello Mike I went to use the map today but the link was broken. Has the site been taken offline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hickman Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi Allan Yes, but only by accident, although I must admit I have not been maintaining as much recently, and yours has been the only post on the forum for over two years. Anyway, a few months ago I accidentally deleted (and purged) a file (amongst many others) on my Google drive. Unfortunately it was my website. Google were able to recover but not under it's original address. I have just checked and the original "Map" is still available, it was just the web page that failed. Please try new site and let me know.

Allan Bowker Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks Mike Do you still want forum members to submit requests to add/modify/delete entries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hickman Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hi Allan Pleased it now works again. I did take down the "Google forms" as they were linked to my work Google account. I will consider replacing if there is enough interest, but until then please just update the forum. Happy to add you as an editor if you are interested? happy landings Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hickman Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hi I have received a private message from a forum member, unable to contact Whipton Craft & Model Centre, also reported as "Permanently closed" by Google. I have removed the entry, if anyone can confirm, I would appreciate it. happy landings Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hickman Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hi Chris (Walby) I like to confirm with all proposed entries before adding to map. I have therefore sent an email to RC Model store, to confirm. Many thanks for the addition to the map. happy landings Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just had a look at the map and noticed Ajay Models is still listed. They've been closed for several years which was a pity because I used them a lot. They were a decent bike ride away (12 miles) on mostly pleasantly quiet roads so if my requirements weren't too big or bulky I just rode over. There's nothing near us so it's mail order/internet or do without. There used to be several and I patronised them all but I suppose there weren't enough of us to make it worth staying in business. Geoff. PS btw Ajay were in Pilsley near Clay Cross/Chesterfield in Derbyshire Edited By Geoff S on 18/05/2020 21:53:21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
