Poorly

HRH trained on the JP at Cranwell, under the aegis of "Operation Golden Eagle".

On 31 March that year a notice appeared in the hall porters lodge in College Hall stating that a fault had been discovered in the left heel of all Poulsen and Skone shoes (these were bespoke shoes issued to cadets with their first No. 1 uniforms).

Cadets were to attach a baggage label with their name and number to the left shoe and place it on the floor outside the lodge.

On 1 Apr the hall porter and everyone else who passed by were greeted by a sea of shoes and baggage labels almost covering the left hand side of the rotunda.

Yes the notice had been posted by the prince - so don't tell me he was a "pompous p....". At that time he was a Flight Cadet and he behaved like a Flight Cadet.
