Nothing negative about it at all. What I wrote was in the context of Anne Bligh's comment "I doubt he would want to go anywhere where his presence would interfere with any emergency response or recovery work". When I thought given his work flying air/sea rescue helicopters that is exactly where he would want to be.

A couple of trips flying as a No 2, dropping supplies to marooned rural families would be absolutely fantastic from a media exposure viewpoint. What made his Mum someone of such immense stature was the way she got stuck into things. Like wearing all the kit in theatre in her anti-personnel mine campaign. HRH in full flying gear climbing out of a chopper having just flown some sick kiddie from the outback cut off by floods to a Cairns hospital - bloody magic.
