Never heard of 41(R) Sqn, the Fast Jet & Weapons OEU, it has Harriers and Tornado GR4 aircraft, it is based at RAF Coningsby!

Video of the 41(R) Sqn GR.4 going through Tebay/M6 Looks like a 41 (R) Sqn Harrier leading.

What does make me wonder - just how much of a taste of the RAF has William had in his attachment to the RAF? All he seems to have done is break up his time between partying with jollies. Has he chatted to apprentices in training, gunners doing pre deployment training, MCSU chefs, SWOs, people undergoing resettlement etc etc? I wonder. To look back fondly on a few months of flying about, without having an understanding of what makes the RAF tick under the surface seems like educating someone in the price of something, but the value of nothing.

And if someone of influence is reading, can someone please tell Harry to get A FKING HAIRCUT? The pretentious little hobbyist looks like a bag of ****. Compare him with the subaltern from 3 Para being interviewed yesterday. In fact, don't. There is no comparison to be had.

I think that your selling Harry a bit short there AIR.

Anyway I thought it was a perk of the job as a normal pongo officer to have a wavy floppy haircut?

[Al R]

Fair one - he's only Cav after all. This precis of 3 Para at the moment is worth a few minutes. Not much floppy hair there.

From the Daily Mail article:

Prince William was no doubt glad to get a taste of some real RAF flying yesterday

Oh are they going to hell for that one!!

[goudie]

Roland, that quote nicely sums up just how much crap is published about PW's flying activities.

Indeed, nice lamb chops.

I was fixed once, by Mike Jackson's beady gaze and he boomed: 'Aha! The only person in theatre with longer hair than me!'. The RSM's eyes widened and afterwards, as he hunted me down, we skipped town pronto.

For those who know him, I was with Ernie Kay at the time.

Roland and Goudie, mea culpa.

I happen to know that the Daily Mail's conscientious journos filed an accurate, well-sourced and factually sound account of this sortie, and that some smart-arse sub editor added his own snide comments about 'real RAF flying.' He will indeed be an underslung load to the deepest pit of Hades.

I bow to none in my admiration for the Wokka community, and am grateful for every lift they've ever given me in all sorts of places.

Any comments on the likelihood of RN PR being very different?

[GPMG]

I'm sure he will be sent out into disputed waters in a rubber dingy and a spud gun at least a far enough away from any support as to make it meaningless.

Then he can meet new friends and pick up an Ipod and a new suit, then blub about being bitten by a mosquito on national TV.

[scribbler614]

At least it'll be a bit harder for us grubby hacks to follow him around if he's floating somehwere on the oggin - provided the Sea Lords can keep him away from Iranian speedboats.
Tip to future king - leave the iPod and tabs at home. They're SO last year.
