HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, Flying Hours.

[Herod]

Perhaps what is remarkable is that he flew that much and stayed married.

But he wasn't flying as a commercial pilot. Makes a difference

There was a really nice photo of an RCAF DHC-3 Otter on floats taxing up to the dock at a Fishing lodge in Northern Quebec / Labrador in the late 50s / early 60s with him in the pilots seat. The RCAF pilot stated that he flew very well, did the float landing with minimal coaching and was a very professional in his actions.
JOKE Of course the RCAF pilot would have probably said that even if the aircraft was upside down and underwater. JOKE OVER
I will try, once again to find the photo unless some kind soul happens to have a copy to share.

My comment above about him being at Seattle for the handover (and to fly) the first Britannia Airways 767 has been amplified by my colleague who witnessed it, as he learned exactly the same had happened for the first BA 737-200, and also their first 757.

As recorded elsewhere on PPRUNE, The Duke also famously flew the Tiger Club's Turbulent G-APNZ.

Wonder if he ever flew with Prince William of Gloucester before his crash.
