An airfix Spitfire hanging from the ceiling, but next summer I get to fly in a real one. Merry Christmas everyone.

Workbench and soldering iron.

Audio system and huge CRT tv.

 

Remember by bedroom then was "my world"

My brother had a Sam Fox poster.

 

I'm assuming he doesn't have one now.

I dreamt of having one of those when in the UK.

Couldn't wait to get back to Berlin and have an Eiderdown duvet. Do they still exist?
