LAST TWO MONARCHS WE HAD AROUND HERE IN MEXICO WERE DECAPITATED, Funny how Royalty get's treated differently around the world. 
Hope this doesn't offend anyone . . . .

I'm surprised....
Nearly 12 hours since the first post and crab has only been on here once. Then, only to imply that Wills shares the gifted touch that crab thinks is only possessed by those conducting SAR in the RAF.
Good luck to William, lots of us are jealous at him being able to slot in on request (me too) but good on him for taking the opportunity, since he seems to enjoy it. Far better for him to be fully occupied and active in something worthwhile than opening garden shows for the next 50 odd years.

Mixing it
I'm trying to imagine the nickname that he would use if he was to start posting here...
And to think of little ol' us mixing with the likes of 'im on here.

it's certainly a cut above the level that his "Really Useful" uncle has achieved
Chief Bottle Washer
Plus he hosted a really nice reunion thrash for the rest of the squadron at Mum's place last year
His other Uncle maybe (who worked at the Really useful group).....?
Freewheel - give me a chance, I was airborne for 6:30 of those 12 hours
Whichever flight he goes to, William will be in the RAFSAR Force as SARH approaches - I bet that makes a whole load of high ranking officers pay attention to what they have allowed to happen to Military SAR
In deciding which flight he goes to, given that the 3As are newer and more serviceable than the 3s - it comes down to a choice between Wattisham and Chiv. It depends on whether he wants to do any SAROps on his tour really

C'mon guys...give him a chance.Does it matter which branch of the sevices he flies with ,so long as he is joining the helicopter club.Remember once Phillip flew them ,so did Charles and so did Andrew...all with the Navy (if you don't include the sadly defunct RAF Queens Flight) ,so maybe its the Air Force's turn ?
If it encourages a few more youngsters to volunteer and follow his example perhaps we can overcome the shortage of helo pilots !!

Windsor joins Civie SAR unit during 2012 SARH shake up
During his brief tenure with the RAF SAR unit he was ‘lured’ into the prospect of the role…..no doubt to save the plight of RAF SAR from 2012, probably by ‘Crab’ himself. 
The good news being, that after a few years as Crabs co-joe, he will be the second best pilot in the whole SAR world and a really unbiased, future Monarch.
You could put lipstick on 'Crab' and he’ll still be a RAF SAR pilot.
Don’t worry Crab old chap, your MBE/OBE/MVO will be assured after all your training of HRH.

If ever a "Wokka Willy", "See King 2 B", perhaps we will know!

One is really flattered at all this interest in my new hobby, but you must give me a chance - I just want to be one of the lads! I taught my brother all he knows about partying at the top-notch clubs with all the high class totty - just a shame about his choice of uniform on occasions, if you know what I mean???
Talking of high-class totty - Crabette, you sound like a pilot with promise - fancy being my stick buddy
?
Crab, just remind me where you wanted the case of Bolly dropping off again? I've got one of my chaps popping down with it tomorrow.
Now, just remind me again, which colour uniform I have to wear on Thursdays, and am I a Flight Lieutenant now, or a sub-lieutenant, or a Corporal of Horse?? Oh no, thats the chaps in front of gran's gaff, isnt it?
Well, must dash, I have to go and have some fawning gits interview me at a flower show. At least the local lasses sometimes flash me their norks at these events. Toodle pip!

And what's this about crabs on their knees? I thought they was already standing?

Did anyone else notice the number of times his choice of career was referred to as "dangerous" by reporters on the news last night? Its the same old story with the media, anything to do with helicopters must be dangerous 
Yes, naturally there is an element of risk in SAR duties for HRH but surely this can be offset to a large degree by good training and the skilled and professional conduct of RAF crews on SAR missions?

Even if he were to get the chop....is there not a queue behind him for the top job?
It ain't exactly one has to interview for the position and have the CV with all the right work experience and licenses which other more mundane pursuits require.
