Putting this here, as not sure where else to put it.
Both Hannant's and Model Hobbies in the UK, have posted on their web-sites that they will close this evening, 24th March, until further notice. Existing on-line orders will be processed and shipped.
This is presumably due to the UK Government enforcement because of the Covid-19 emergency, where all unessential stores and shops etc have to close. Although on-line sales are still allowed, I presume these closures are to protect staff, as well as limiting un-essential travel etc.
Let's hope that both of these well established businesses survive, especially Hannant's, which have been going long before the birth of plastic modelling.
