Apparently Prince Harry Can't Fly a Helicopter
Why anybody would vote Labour is beyond me.
Just listened to George Galloway on Radio 2 having his (and Labour's) economic theories put to the sword by someone who actually knows about economics rather than political bluster.

Harry may be able to fly but he took the place of someone qualified by dint of hard work and application, not birth.
What have you done with your life so far Mr SLF?
Tony SLF .....
He can actually fly very well ( as they both can ) and had to work very hard to get his wings . Your rant says much more about you than it does about him !!!

Charlie Farley (BA Hons) captained HMS Bronnigton as a Lieutenant. The real Captain was his FO who, I understand from a naval officer of the same generation had to 'advise' more than once to avoid catastrophe.
As a Group Captain, he also drove a Hercules right off the end of the runway and crucified the career of a fine pilot, a mere Captain.
What a bunch of freeloading party goers with an inbred sense of self entitlement, self worth and self importance. Harry may be able to fly but he took the place of someone qualified by dint of hard work and application, not birth.
We need an alternative to these inbreeds and it isn't the likes of the Dalai Jezza, His Most Obsequiousness Tony the Bliar, Pisletine or Kinocchio.

Well at least John Woodcock set the record straight.
It's so easy to have a pop at the royals knowing that they'll not do a 'Donald' and fire a twitter salvo back. Harry didn't have a say in his choice of parents but he probably did in his chosen career.
Anyone who puts on a uniform and serves this country trying to clear up the sh1t that politicians get us into, certainly gets my respect.
How many sons / daughters of current MPs are serving and in harms way at the moment?

Who are the real freeloaders ? Not the brave young man in the Apache helicopter.
There's enough danger out there without the risk of being shot in the back by some parliamentary
whose freedom of speech has been hard earned and rigorously protected by courageous youngsters irrespective of birth right for generations.Her letter of resignation should begin "I'm sorry and end thank you" but it won't.

Utter bollocks! The attrition rate throughout the process from the eye muscle balance test right through to 'wings' is such that there is unlikely to be a surplus of applicants, so no question of Harry taking anyone else's place. No idea what the internal requirement of the AAC is for selection to go on the Apache but suffice to say, given the role of the aircraft and that it was on active service, there would have been no room for 'passengers', every pass would be a genuine pass.
Careful you don't drown in your own bile Tony_SLF.

A slightly bitter post melmoth - it is only Andrew, William and Harry that have flown operationally - one with each of the Services and each in a very different role.
I can personally vouch for William's ability as a pilot as I was his Squadron Training Officer when he was on SAR.

Charles was also a military pilot. Like I said, not one Windsor that has applied to be a pilot in the UK military has ever failed selection or been chopped during training.
One wonders how difficult it must be to fly a helicopter, since every Windsor who has ever tried seems to be superb at it. Unfailingly.

If one wonders then one has obviously never tried to fly one for one's self.
