I think were I Harry in this instance I would consider the company I share in my aviation world and politely and respectfully decline the honor while thanking those responsible for their consideration. Dudley Henriques |

Hopefully someone on here can confirm/deny that shortly. This is a tiny charity and it seems clear to me that this nomination has been done solely to generate publicity for its annual fund-raiser. " In 2008 the Kiddie Hawk Air Academy assumed the production of the “Living Legends of Aviation” Awards Gala. The Air Academy produces this gala as their annual fundraiser every year in January at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel." I wonder if- after all the furore - H will accept or not ? I can't imagine his PR people are very happpy about this: it might give South Park enough for another little poke at him as a "Living Legend " ! |
The "remove before flight" tag on as he opens the door at 1.31...is that normal procedure to put that on before the door opens and rotor still turning? I noticed on another clip of him taxiing out to a supposed mission in Afghanistan that there was also one fluttering.
Schoolboy error from the continuity department when they staged it or standard ops? |

I recall a one time Labour MP, Emma Dent-Coad, mocking the good Prince in the most contemptuous fashion, he "can't actually fly a helicopter" - "he just sits there going 'vroom vroom'. Was a more typical regard from those who are now in his fan club. All before, of course, he and Meghan got married, then shoved it up the Royal Family and got down with the glitarati and various leftleaning causes. FB |

Did it not used to be the case in Army aviation that the person in charge was not necessarily doing the driving?
Somewhat analogous to the command structure in an AFV. |
That is an eye-opener, thank you. All men* are equal but some are more equal than others!
*other genders are available. |
Now that in print and on-line the £ is often replaced by'GBP',I wouldn't be surprised if at some point,the RAF becomes 'UKAF',just as I have seen references to 'the British Royal Navy' !

I see Lauren Sanchez,fiancee of Jeff Bezos also got an award for being a successful helicopter pilot.I presume the unsuccessful are those who crash. On that basis I am also entitled to a few awards.
Money of course talks and the really deserving pilots who fly in difficult circumstances in all weathers for a living never get rewarded. |
