" I've been told that's an absolute fact that somebody sits beside him and drives the helicopters for him."

I thought he was a weopons operator?
The British military has suffered cuts under this government but God help us if Corbyn's rabble get into power.

Well if he can't fly he did a pretty good job flying the Tiger when her was in Darwin in 2015, mates at 1 Avn said he flew them a couple of times, the official one for the cameras and another time out to the firing range for live fire practice.

She's right, absolutely spot on, he can't drive a helicopter, HOWEVER, he can fly a helicopter and taxi a helicopter..........................What an ignorant woman (If that's what she is)

Why anybody would vote Labour is beyond me. I vowed to leave the UK forever if Tony and his cronies got a second term, I haven't been back since I left in 2004. Champagne socialists of the worst kind.

You may have weopons operators in your Army (whatever they are) but in the Army Air Corps we have pilots and aircraft commanders. Harry did his time as an Apache pilot and was upgraded to Apache aircraft commander. A very well respected individual too.

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.

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.

Tony - I am guessing you haven't actually had any dealings with the Royal Family given your extreme views. If you had, you would realise just how hard they work on behalf of this country - freeloaders they are not and I bet you couldn't match their work ethic.
