This aerial photograph was taken on 20th October 1971 at about mid-day. The circle indicates the house owned by the Sofaer family on the outskirts of Cambridge. As the photographer pressed the cable release, Joanna Sofaer, a 14 month old infant, was probably playing with her toys having just watched the 11.00 screening of Playschool's pets day of BBC2. Who knows what happened later that evening, but 40 weeks on, her younger brother Joshua was born.
