The “secret” pictures from Prince William’s attempt to convert to the Chinook were just released by the tabloids.

I told Hoskins to tie it down before the chinook came. But he just walked away looking bemused.

"Yes, Hoskins, a little rough, but it was your first landing attempt after all. Have you ever considered a different career, by the way, such as, oh I don't know, maybe sumo wrestling, tossing the caber, or rodeo for example?"

"Admit it, Hoskins, this isn't Helmand Province, you're not a pilot and you haven't just single-handedly rescued your crew from this burning wreck, so I'm not going to approve this gallantry award."

There....you see it....a working rivet....write it up and get it fixed and quick before the Pilot's preflight.....we don't want him to have something to whinge about.

Okay, Hoskins. What happened this time?

Why are you asking that way? My orders were to carry out a wreck. And not everyone would have recognized the word with the 'w' and the 'k' missing, either.
