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

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

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.

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:
|
Its true.......Diana Abbott has the figures to prove it!

Sky Sports :D:D:D

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.

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: |

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.
|
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. |

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

Spot on Crab - for once...............!! A most impressive family once you get to know them. |

Judging by his profile; not a lot.
|
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 !!! |
Reading Tony SLF's other posts, I'd wager he's not a pilot?

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? |
I'm a Dead Toad, did you say?

There's enough danger out there without the risk of being shot in the back by some parliamentary :mad::mad: 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. Be lucky David |
Harry may be able to fly but he took the place of someone qualified by dint of hard work and application, not birth. 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.

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