[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Birmingham/Solihull 1:25, 000 Out Of Copyright mapping now available

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

Awesome, thanks Christoph. Anyone else want to chip in before I get a quote?
We have about half a dozen more to pick up to cover the whole of the west
mids. I still have a few to upload and I'm getting the Wolverhapton sheet on
loan this week to scan (should be available for next weekends mapping). We
still need sheets for Coventry for instance. I'll sponsor the sheet to the
NE of Birmingham that has Sutton on it.

Cheers

Andy
