Subject: FW: New Indoor website
 
Hi Everyone,
 
I've just finished my first shot at the new website where I'll be able to keep things right up to date for you. When you have a minute please have a look at it at www.indoorduration-gbr.co.uk 
Any problems, comments or information/articles/plans for consideration please send to me on my above e:mail.
Over the coming weeks I shall be adding an article covering Indoor Duration History which will go back to 1874(!) and an article on one method of stripping rubber.
I would like articles on:-
How to strip down wood from Model Shop sheets
Great photos of the best indoor sites for a photo gallery.
How to set up a VP prop.
Specific experiences with any models/Reviews of equipment.
Useful hints and tips.
Anything else you can suggest?
 
We still have to consider interaction with the "new" social media such as Facebook and Twitter - not sure how many of our flyers would use them though!
We could perhaps have a spot for interviews with well known flyers
 
Many thanks,
Tony

Model trains just became obsolete.  Not radio controlled but pretty cool just the same. Note the lights work on the vehicles and the planes. There is a lot of activity going on at this miniature. I guess someone had a lot of time on their hands....not to mention money.

16 minute video, but watch it at least long enough to see a take-off and landing. And fast forward to see the night airport ops.
