There, just past the Army Surplus shop -
Just beyond the creepy survivalists in their camo gear -
I remembered my Airfix afternoons -
How I'd piece together a B 17 -
How I'd paint the fusillage of a de Havilland Mosquito with a reverential brush -
A Lancaster circled the wardrobe -
A Stuka dive-bombed my chest of drawers -
I was a fearless pyjamed captain -
A bombardier with a hot water bottle tucked under his chest -
Bomb doors open - bombs away -
Lost in Airfix dreams -
