From today's Torygraph on line:
"He was granted Provisional Wings in 2007 after completing a bespoke course designed to introduce him to the RAF and flying. "
"Flt Lt William Wales was presented with his flying badge during a graduation ceremony at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire by the Prince of Wales, in his capacity as Air Chief Marshal,
Prince William successfully completed year-long Advanced Rotary Training at RAF Shawbury after training on twin-engined Griffins to become a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF). The Ministry of Defence said he passed with "flying colours".
He is due to begin a Search and Rescue Conversion Course at RAF Valley in Anglesey in Wales where he will be taught to fly Sea King helicopters after he returns from his first official overseas trip representing the Queen to New Zealand and Australia"
So we can stop wingeing abour him wearing his wings. He has now earned them.
