Prosecutor Elizabeth Dudley-Jones said Wood landed at the base - where Prince William was based with his RAF Sea King team - on a Bank Holiday Monday despite not having permission from the controllers in the tower.
I had to re-read that, and he got away with just a fine? wtf?
Magistrates chair Alastair Langdon said: 'These were very serious offences.
If he were one of the great unwashed and trespassed I'd have no doubt they'd not take such a lenient view.
