Hi Guys
I live about 5 miles from Westbourne.
The shop has been empty at least since Oct 2015 when I last went by there.
Builders onsite refurbishing the shop unit no sign of Westbourne models.
I didn't stop as anyone who has been there knows parking is very difficult.
To day 3rd May 2016. I again went by, just out of curiosity as so many modellers on many forums are having problems with Westbourne Models.
Situation still the same, builders equipment and materials on site, the sign above the shop reads "To let" again I couldn't park to get a closer look or ask one of the builders what the situation was.
Perhaps Westbourne operate from home these days, I have no idea.
If I do get a chance I will stop by and ask someone in a nearby shop perhaps.
I hope this may be of some help to forum members.
Brian

HI jarvo
Thanks for the welcome aboard.
Your "mine is usually of the nature of guess how I found not to do that"!!!!!
Sometimes we all do it that way, only honest people are willing to admit it.
Input, hopefully I will be able to interact in some small way.
My modelling has taken back stage for the past nine years, age / health has been a major problem, but now of little consequence.
Best regards.
Brian.
