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

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?

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".
