Sanger Engineering 1/48 Vacuform Kits.

[Roger Freeman]

Does anyone know if Sanger Engineering in the UK West Countyr is still producing 1/48 Vacuform Kits ?.
A year ago I visited the UK from Australia and was looking forward to picking up two 1/48 Sanger Eng 1/48 Kits for the HP Halifax (Merlin Engine) from Sanger Eng while I was there. I had ordered and pre-paid for the two kits prior to my arrival in October 2025. On arrival Gerald Elliot the owner of Sanger Eng informed me that 'due to a storm damage to his premises' he was not able to deliver !. Sanger did however eventually return my credit card payment.
I have sent frequent e-mails to Sanger Eng over the last year asking if they now are back in 'production' but have never received a reply or aknowledgement to any of them. The Sanger website continues to be displayed on the web stating that all products are obtainable but I am reluctant to place another order having been 'burnt' from my previous experience.
