"B*ll*cks ! If anybody else did that they would be up on Fizzers"
NAROBS, you are talking out of your ar$e!
It is quite common for RW pilots to use fields etc that they have the landowners permission..for a start it stops any noise complaints! 16nm from Base, a field that hasn't been used before? Bit of a rarity these days so well-done! This Jon Lake (Tw@) appears to have no idea of RW Ops (is he bitter that nobody let him take a C130 home for the weekend..?) and should know better. Clearly HRH was with a QHI, the trip was authorised etc etc. The F1 soundbite is utter hoop; "celebs" are often to be found poncing around in the back of FJs in a much more unqualified state than someone who has actually done some formal flying instruction.
Will the roundheads let this go? Would they complain if that Simian Rooney (no, not the ex-CH47 mate...) had a go? Course not, working lad dun good an' all that...
