Hasn't he been wearing his 'wings' for some time now?

Didn't he make the grade at becoming a 'jet' pilot, I seem to remember when he first flew solo?

Now I wonder which of the three William will be called upon to do?

AOG. didn't you see the other thread? http://www.theanswerb...k/Question851914.html
As heir to the throne, no matter at what he qualifies, his options will be limited.

What was it that you expected him to be doing, AOG ?
Pilot training in the RAF takes 3-4 years and is in stages.
The first stage is at Cranwell in the light Grob plane.
The second stage involves simple jets at Linton-on-Ouse - using the Tucano.
Then trainees move onto whatever specialist area they want - in his case the Joint Helicopter School at Shawbury in the light Squirrel helicopter. (Joint meaning it's tri-service)
But you know all this since you were in the RAF - so why ask?
Frankly , i cant see why members of this family go through the pretence of being
' soldiers' , when in reality they will never be put in any real danger .

They should stop this farce fortwith , out of respect to 'real soldiers '
Prince Andrew served with distinction in the Falklands.
Prince Harry would have served longer in Afghanistan had the American Media been able to contain themselves.
The front-line troops (of whichever order) are actually quite appreciative of the efforts of the Princes William and Harry...........and do not see the 'farce' of which you speak, bertie.
