Inevitable really, Meccano to start with followed by many years of taking things apart and not always getting them back together. Betta Builder, Lego, Model Aircraft etc
My father was in the RAF as an electrician during the war, Grandfather was a aircraftsman in the Royal Naval Air Service (Still got his original wooden tool box with all sorts of things inside). Relative in the RAAF as a fitter.
Didn't really stand a chance at any other employment, but no regrets at all, had some great times.
