Can't see why people seem so surprised by this, after all as future head of what's left of the armed forces it was inevitable he would spend time with each.
And neither does it particularly bother me that he gets to fly; his father and grandfather both learnt in the same way. And as we are the Royal Air Force, whose business is flying, it shouldn't be a surprise that he isn't spending 4 months in Handbrake House or running Clothing Stores.
What I do find interesting with regard to his flying is that he is apparently blind as a bat and colour blind to boot. Surely that is more of an issue than the fact that he 'jumped the queue' to get a few hours in a Squirrel? So how far is he likely to get in 4 months - solo, spot of nav then time with an instructor in a bigger cab getting an intro to more of the tactical type flying?
