Nope, never have. I've got nothing against Will and Harry - they both seem like thoroughly decent chaps (and Harry's Invictus work is actually pretty inspirational). I'm just not kidding myself that either were given the opportunity to become military helicopter pilots for any other reason than they are royals. I am sure that I would have been laughed out the recruitment office had I shown up with a B in A-level Art and a D in geography and said I wanted to be an Apache pilot.
