Now for something completely different.
When I was a kid, I used to build Balsa Wood and Plastic model planes.
I had most of Battle of Britian planes hanging from the ceiling in my
room.
My wife knew about this, and just before Christmas last, we were at a
hobby shop that had these model kits for sale. Now, bear in mind, I
haven't built one of these for 26 or more years. So this was truely an
emotional blast from the past - my Dad and I used to build these
together. Never flew them, always static models.
