Will's chopper job
OK - Palace PR, and a warm fuzzy story.
But you still get the sense that William is a good bloke. Pretty grounded and sensible.

And he is a good bloke who doesn't do airs and graces despite his position

Something that still puzzles me is does Bond operate a two man crew on their air ambulances, if so it would be an expensive way to operate.
To add, I do not recall ever seeing a police or air ambulance, rotary operation with more than pilot, unless it was during training and check flights.

Overhawk and QTG ...... That makes sence in respect custmer choice and night flyin and night landings.
In the case of HRH, it makes sense him being multicrew for a variety of reasons including security, I happy he completed his last sortie without any security issues, but odd that the media stated when is last shift would be!
There also used to be a rumour that HRH never went solo during RAF training, can anyone confirm or dismiss that? I find it difficult to beleive.

I don't think anybody gives a stuff either way nige but you know that statement ain't quite correct have you forgotten the days when RAF stations all but closed when a red helicopter flew in the same county - Shawbury even had some daft rule that your car had to be parked somewhere else.
Yes, he wore glasses to fly, just like a whole load of other military pilots.

Is corrective vision allowed in the RAF for ab initio now, it's just I asked this question to a RAF UAS squadron commander in relation to my daughter, but he wasn't sure. Does anyone know lnow the answer, I should add my daughter is only very distantly related to the Queen, as we all are.
