Prince Harry one step closer to winning helicopter wings
January 31st, 2010 - 3:09 pm ICT by ANILondon, January 31 (ANI): Prince Harry has come one step closer to realising his dream of returning to the Afghanistan frontline as an Apache gunship pilot.
The 25-year-old Royal was said to have bagged “dismal” marks on his earliest flying lessons after passing his first grading as a helicopter flier.
“He said one of the ten people he was training with didn’t make the grade and he was just relieved that it wasn’t him!” the Daily Star quoted a guest who met the prince as saying.
A source at the Army Air Corps tuition centre in Hampshire added: “He is absolutely determined to go back to Afghanistan in a helicopter and has worked very hard to get so far.” (ANI)
