Boy aged SEVEN becomes youngest person to have a flying lesson in the skies over Britain (and has to sit on a cushion to peer over the controls)

Wearing a Barcelona strip and perched on a thick cushion to see over the controls, four-foot tall Marwan Vorajee (left and top right) from Solihull is believed to be the youngest person in Britain to have a flying lesson - aged seven. The schoolboy took full control of the joy-stick and sailed the four-seater light aircraft over the countryside near Coventry, with his dad Rizwan and little brother Safwan (pictured with Marwan bottom right) as passengers in the back.
