Default Berlin

A while back I posted some photos from my time in The Falklands, while bemoaning the fact that the RAF sent me to a cold and desolate place. To redress the balance a bit I thought I'd share some photos from the best posting I had, which was at RAF Gatow in Berlin between 1988 and 1990. While there I was privileged to witness first hand one of the major historical events of the late 20th century, that being the fall of the Berlin wall on November 9th 1989. I took the final photo in the room at Plotzensee prison where some of the conspirators in the bomb plot to assassinate Hitler on July 20th 1944 met a grisly end - it was a very eerie place to visit and literally spine chilling.
