Sadly, both Wills and Harry are turning out to be spoilt selfish boys - Charles should put his foot down and read them the riot act - the country is beginning to be ashamed of them and their antics.
it does.nt surprise me about william using planes and helicopters for fun,i live at linton on ouse and have access to the airbase he was at in january.when he had weekends off he would use the small planes to fly home on a thursday or friday afternoon.no doubt laughing at all the poor suckers stuck in traffic jams on the motorways knowing they had hours and hours before they could get home.no doubt these flights are just another toy for a poor little rich boy.what will he do when he does his stint with the navy.borrow a ship and sail up the thames or use it for a floating party piece.
If I am correct wasn't it only a few weeks ago that William had his first solo flight? Well then how is it possible that within a matter of weeks he is now a chinook pilot? Was it not only a matter of months ago that he was a soldier? What is next, are we too see him sailing a warship in to Plymouth to pick his mates for a party on board. This thing with the Royals being in every branch of the armed forces is getting a little silly, and very expensive to the tax payer. I think we have all just about had enough it's not funny any more
One has to admire the royals for their great intelligence and abilities - literally flying through exams including university degrees and military courses. To gain pilot's wings and fly a Chinook in the space of a few weeks is truly remarkable. In-fact he should be given another medal. Shouldn't the RAF instead be now recruiting people of his calibre instead of the usual crowd who look like dimwits compared to him and who take months if not years to learn? Reducing course times would make enormous savings - which in turn could be put towards all the air miles the royals knock up each year.
leave the royals alone nobody does more 4 this country.he.s young fights 4 his country enjoys life impresses his girl by flying a helicopter 2 her house. all u do is moan in any way u can about the royals .lets start praising them 4 all the good they do 4 us .they make megga millions 4 this country give them a round ov applause. p s wish i could impress my girlfriend like he impressed his , but thats life
As a parent of a chinnock crewman I know that they have to practise landing in small areas . Our son did the same , but no one got out of the chinnock.
Don't stir things!
monet wasted on this joy ride should be spent on our boys in the war zones i bet his brother had all the right equipment when he was there
