I can only assume that winning such an award, comes with a certain obligation to make donations towards the foundation that issues it. In that case, choosing one of the richest people on the planet, or a British Prince, is just the logical thing to do. They probably maintain a database of billionaires who have pilots licenses.

This foundation is nothing but a celebrity mutual c@$k sucking society - end of story. Let them get on with it.

What i find most amusing is how tweaked it's got some people on here (and elsewhere). They complain about these people seeking publicity whilst doing nothing but talk about them.

What i do find inappropriate is two very senior military officers chirping up out of retirement and disparaging the service of a junior officer just because they don't like him. That's just bad form.

The FFA database seems to be missing any record of her having a pilots license.

William was a bonafide rescue pilot, no?
Yes, he was a bona fide Search and Rescue pilot, I was his Sqn Training Officer and flew his last operational Categorisation Check ride - he was both very competent and greatly liked amongst the crews at Valley.
