Prince William In Mid-Air Plane Drama
"Prince William has been caught in a mid-air drama after a plane he was in failed twice to land in poor weather. ...the Prince did not even break a sweat and remained "completely relaxed", convinced he was "in good hands", a spokesman said."
William was travelling on the Air New Zealand flight to Invercargill when low clouds and poor visibility prompted the pilot to change course and return to Christchurch instead.
Wow, very dramatic, a fogbound airport, must have been very very scary
Still, Journo's have to sell papers somehow.

Maybe they'll give him another medal to wear on his suit when he does civic duties. (Since I guess he has no right to a uniform yet) Does anyone know what medal he was wearing the other day on his suit when he met NZ veterans?

He has been known to wear the Queens Golden Jubilee medal, for 5 years valuable service in something or other.
Perhaps it was one for wiping his own bottom.

Complete and utter bolleaux of course.
The flight was a scheduled Air New Zealand ATR72, and after two unsuccessful approaches the Captain decide the fog wasn't going to clear and took the alternate, a diversion to Christchurch.
All perfectly routine and normal!

We had a bloke come out onetime and fool around near the runway (it was a while ago). I asked what he was doing and they said he was calibrating the ILS. "But we don't have an ILS" I responded. "I know. He brought it with him".
I think it was about as big as a suitcase.
Maybe they were pulling my leg.
