Objects from your youth........

I've still got a Fox 2.5cc glow plug motor I bought from Henry j Nichols when I was about 13 or 14.

I haven't flow model aircraft since I was 16, but you never know......

I also have a lot of fuel tanks and control line handles (couldn't afford RC back then), and I may well have some Aeromodeller annuals.

Also got all my old Cub and Scout scarves and a collection of woggles (which probably have a completely different name these days).

In a large suitcase in my parents attic, every kind of Airfix soldier from every period in history are found untill the case is close to bursting at the seams. I personally liked the WW2 italians, they all wore ties as part of their battledress

US paratroopers and German paratroopers for that matter were very cool, practical combat uniforms of WW2 that are now commonplace in modern armies

I've got a Jim'll Fixit badge.

I don't talk about the the things I had to do to get it

The terrible, terrible things.............

Fools And Horses mobile phone holder. You could probably fit about 3 modern phones into it.

And in the interests of balance, here's what was on the other side -

Christmas 1985 the shelves in our local Woolworths were full of these videos.

A primary school friend who I am back in touch with now, has admitted his envy of my Shadow 2 Dinky toy for the series UFO

The AirFix toys brought on a wave of nostalgia, but what would really make me misty eyed is this

Happy days.
