Hang on a sec
from my understanding of what is on the OS website it will still be for sale
from certain UK based resellers of OS data (from June 2022). one of them is
visiting our offices next week on another matter - I'll ask him then and let
you know what he says on this (yes i know it took me a while to read this
but i currently have 300 unread emails so do forgive me!!!)
