Oh no snapped spoke was created by astro

I just snapped a spoke and I'm meant to be going for a ride out next week.
What do I need to buy and where can I get it from quick in the UK?
Its a rear spoke and a '76 DT175 (UK 1G1) it has an 18" rear wheel.

If you are in the south of the UK I literally can not recommend "Spoke & Powder" highly enough. +44 (0) 7881 950798

I went round there with little notice and the lovely Flo sorted out my parking, then searched through all her left overs and spare spokes and found not one but two possibles. Then let me have them for nothing (I forgot to take my wallet Doh!)

As Flo pointed out spokes that old and corroded can be brittle, so I think I have bigger issues to address, but for now I have a spoke back in and can make my ride out.

Thanks Flo!
