So will HRH now go on to fly a front line type with the Navy being as how he has yet to complete any sort of conversion course?
The term 'front line type' is misleading. He may fly an aircraft type that does operate 'front line' but he is unlikely to operate the aircraft as is done on the 'front line'
Any one like to hazard a guess as to what he might convert on to?
He Wont. He will apparently get some time on Sea Kings
Surely he will get his Navy wings too, so he has to fly something dark blue.
Why?? Wings are wings. There are countless pilots who do exchange tours with the other services, they do not do a 'wings' course with each service.
Leave the fella alone, as I said earlier, it is more symbolic than anything else, I am sure he would love to do more but he will never be allowed. He is just being given a 'quick looksee'.
