Shitting heck,... thats me.

I'm the taller child on the left holding the rebel cruiser. I won a competition in the Leamington Spa Courier and won £25 to spend at Jordans toystore (its now a fireworks store, still called jordans). It was a star wars haven for me.

I got to meet darth Vader and as usual I was being a cheeky bugger and he strangled me.. I can remember him being a little too strong. I did get an autograph on special Darth Vader headed paper. I still have it.

Anyway, I didn't choose the rebel cruiser, thats the prize the smaller kid got, I went for the x-wing and the two lightsabres, which Darth is modelling. For the photographer I held the larger box as it was a bit too big for the short fellow and was almost as tall as him.

How weird that photo appeared on that forum, which I knew nothing about until coming on here. I'll try and see if the original pic is somewhere (my mother always got the original photo if anyone appeared in the press).
 
Were you aware of the photos existence? If not must have been a nice surprise :)
 
i know the photo existed, but aside from the family of the other competition winner and my family I wouldnt have thought anybody else would have been interested.
 
Im yet to find the original, however here's another visit from Darth, this time the Dark Lord didn't mistake me for a youngling and instead of slicing me and my friends up, he signed an autograph,,,
