And the last wg cdr that did that one had a career that came to a shuddering stop and the word from on high - no more.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Main, could be 
. Do you remember the one AIDU put out as well? Another wg cdr fearful for his career, or more likely pension.
There was an immediate recall but IIRC, not many came back and none from our green and dark blue friends.

There's only a couple of posters in this thread who have touched on the one person in this story who has a total lack of morals - the person who took, and then sold, the photos - to an organisation that repeatedly dredges the very lowest levels of human ethics and morals - the Media.
Harry is in need of pulling aside and given a robust bollocking about his poor understanding of the word - and the complete need for - discretion, when he unwinds - as we all do - because we're all human.
He needs to practise extreme discretion purely because of his position in the worlds most-intensely-scrutinised, First Family. I doubt that I would have the intestinal fortitude to cope with the pressures on his privacy, that Harry has to endure.
The man has a normal, red-blooded male need, to blow off some steam. He's still only 27 and still single - and 27 yr old men need regular relief from the intense pressure of public life - preferably with naked wimmen.
I sense that BEagle comes from a strict Puritanical upbringing, and suffers from the Puritans driving belief - that at all times, someone, somewhere, is having fun - and they have to be found and stopped.

I happen to believe in the proposition that you get the politicians you vote for and newspapers you buy.
Really no need to buy newspapers anymore, so if you don't like them, don't read them. The interweb is global (almost) and free (almost) and an infinitely better source of information.
PS I did have a pop at the photographer...in the first post.

Has Prince Harry flown the Apache as PIC (is that a Service description? - I mean as captain of the aircraft)?
Does anyone know when Prince Harry last flew a helicopter solo or even dual?

What an utterly bone question! He is a current Apache pilot and as such he must remain fully competent in all aspects of flying as per the JHC FOB . He is not an Aircraft Commander so the only time he will have Captaincy hours is when he has flown mutual during CTR.
As I stated in my previous post - what the vast majority of posters on this forum fail to grasp is that he must continue to maintain currency/competency/carry out PDT etc etc and still carry out all the other duties required of him during what has been a very busy summer.
Unless of course you're suggesting that the rules don't apply to him - and if that's what you think then you're pretty naive as to what it takes to fly the AH in theatre which is where he will very soon end up.

BREAKING NEWS;
It's been suggested that HRH Prince Henry of Wales isn't a virgin and that on very rare occasions, he enjoys the private company of naked women...everybody go wild.
There's been some talk of what people would say if they were his squadron cmdr...I would have two words for him: "teach me"

Why? It's all sensationalism. Unconfirmed sources. People making up stories for newspaper that pay money and offer 'ladies' their moment of fame.
Journalistic filth. Why give it web space?

I'm no fan of the press and I don't buy newspapers any more. I have no axe to grind with the young royal, although I think he may have caused some problems with enforcing standards down the line. And I think who bubbled the photos is a scum bag....
But...
I am a little confused over the heat the media is getting over this one.
errm...The article I just clicked on was pretty much non-judgemental and one hundred per cent in line with the photographs...or are these photos fake?
The debate on privacy is a busted flush...two hundred and forty million Americans were discussing this on national TV whilst we were still asleep.
And anything that has passed my eyeballs on the subject since, seems to be pretty much in line with with a straightfoward rendition of the events of the evening, as evidenced in the photos and implied by the army.
So, in this instance, what has the "media" got wrong? Buggered if I can see it (no pun intended).
