Red Arrows competition winner...
Discussion
...ca. 1978!!! 
My brother's recently unearthed this photo of me (centre, aged about 8) and two other lucky winners of a Fenwicks (Leicester) department store colouring-in competition.
We were each presented with a framed colour photograph of the Red Arrows (signed by all members of the aerobatic team) at Stoughton airfield and were then given a surprise bonus prize of a flight over Leicester in the Cessna 172 behind (G-BBDH, I think it was). A report and photo subsequently appeared in the local newspaper.
I was lucky enough to be sat in the front and was given control for a few seconds. My overriding memory of the flight was how many people had swimming pools in their gardens!
