At last Prince Will has seen the light, and has had his first promotion, and joined the boys in blue, albeit temporarily.

I wonder if he'll still be playing with helicopters when he does his stint with the RN?

Let's hope he's better than his father.. Anyone remember the tailwind landing a few years back?

His father gave up after that. These will be "paper" wings I think - I doubt Wills will ever take control of his aircraft in future. His father qualified fully, as did Uncle Andrew doing full courses with the RAF and RN respectively.

Well atleast he will have a story to tell his grandchildren, "I was in the Army, Airforce and Navy"  ;D

Uncle Andrew as I recall, was an operational chopper pilot in the Falklands war on board HMS Invincible and if memory serves, was one of the crews involved in the rescue of troops from a very on fire Atlantic Conveyor.

Yep. Andrew was an operational chopper pilot the same as any other - as close to a "regular" serving member of the armed forces as you can get. He only retired a few years ago having been promoted, and having the associated commands, all the way to Captain IIRC.

Not exactly. The PM thinks he does, but Parliament votes on them to make them law........or not as the case may be.
