Bears with brother.

Trip down memory lane.

The RAF base we were on as kids is now under control of the German airforce and very kindly of them, they're allowing ex residents to visit and have a tour and a good look around the place nowdays so long as you give them a bit of notice, which is a really nice touch on their part.

Cheap and cheerful, staying at a little pension out in the suburbs in Kladow aw the Havel river which is near the base, rather than staying in a hotel in the centre.
