Map of RC UK suppliers


Recommended Posts

Towards the end of last year I started compiling a database of "Radio control shops", currently 114 sites. This has then been used to populate a Flash map of the UK & Ireland. I would appreciate any feedback/additions/alterations etc.

I have saved the details for the 60 shops with full post code to a CSV file that can be converted for use in Sat Nav devices, an OV2 file is also available for copying directly onto TomTom devices.

Thanks Bruce & Timbo, I'll try to update the server tomorrow.

Timbo & David, wearing your moderator hats, what method would the forum prefer people to use to let me know of additional shops, e mail link on my web site, PM or replying to this thread?

Many thanks to all who have sent PM or e mails, with updates.

Hi Chaps

Many thanks to all members who have taken the time to let me know of any updates required or loading problems yesterday & earlier today (hopefully now sorted ).

I've updated the main map with all your additions/amendments/removal, created a new CSV and converted into OV2.

Please let me know of any other changes and any further loading problems.

I've updated my local page and will upload to the server later this morning.

If anyone else has any additions please could you include as many of the details (name, location, post code [latitude & longitude in 5 decimal placed digital format, would be the icing on the cake with a cherry on top ] & phone number) used as possible.

Many thanks

Mike

There is also Abergavenny Model Shop. 1 Brecon Road, Abergavenny NP7 5UK Phone 01873 852566

That should fill a big blank space on the map!

In Aberystwyth there were two shops that sold modelling items. (Not specialised model shops.) I visited both of them about 3 years ago, one did not have much in stock) I do not know the names. Perhaps someone from the area might be able to inform you what the situation is now.
