The only limits to Harry's career as a soldier and an aviator have been provided by the media.......

Well said Crab.

From the Sun: "but is keen to helicopter licence current up-to-date or it won’t be renewed." Can't they even attempt to write using the English language? What they hell is that even supposed to mean?

[Tickle]

Probably meant to read similar to: "...but is keen to keep his helicopter licence current and up-to-date or it won't be renewed."

He didn’t win his seat in an Apache in a lucky bag no matter what some people think.

Ex military pilot fancies carrying on flying in civvy street.
Ground breaking stuff.

I reckon he'll want something 'sports car-ish' like an H500, but probably end up with something larger, more modern and twin-engined (and also stick to VFR flying)

I didn’t think they were used for royal flights - they have their own S76.

G-XXEC (AW109S) was: Royal Flying - Aviafora


(And the Royal Flight currently has 2 SK76s, IIRC).

When Harry was in Oz he got to go for a "Ride" in a Tiger officially as pax only but flew the whole sortie , fired 30mm and rocket pods , was told he was a pretty good stick driver and many thought he may have done an exchange to 1 Avn AAAvn but never happened , he also flew Jamaican Defence |Force 407 when in Jamaica once again as "Pax".
