Apparently Prince Harry Can't Fly a Helicopter
 
Labour MP defends Prince Harry helicopter comments - BBC News

" 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?

Pretty much sums up Labour under Corbyn - they would rather peddle myth than the truth because it suits their cause.

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.

The British military has suffered cuts under this government but God help us if Corbyn's rabble get into power.

We're on the same side old boy. Ahh never knew that, just always assumed the guy in the front was purely there as weopons operator.

It will certainly take a lot of side slip in an Apache to have somebody sitting beside Harry to fly the helicopter for him.

The talent in Corbyn's Labour party is boundless.

Royalty is/was the original incarnation of showbusiness? Take from that what you will...

It's all to do with survivability old chap. Two engines, two hydraulic systems, two generators, two pilots.....

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.

The MP who made the allegation has also stated that Prince Phillip also had affairs.

The woman has no idea what's she's on about.

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):ugh:

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.

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.:mad:

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.:confused:

I think you'll find that the Herk was in fact a BAe 146. It hit the sand on one of the Scottish Islands.
Hope it helps
Be lucky

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.
