Well done to him. Regardless of his status, HE has achieved this through his own merit.

Good to see......but is he likely to see combat....wasn't it him previously withdrawn from the front line due to being and easy target for our turban wearing friends?

I'm sure both his Fathers will have influence as to where he goes.

EVERY Apache (MOSQUITO) is a PRIME target for the Taliban, they are working intensely to down one! There would be very little point in training HRH to fly and fight with the aircraft and then fail to deploy him. I bet he'll be over there as soon as he can! ;)

He had been out there for about 10 weeks and was withdrawn because some irresponsible media source reported the fact he was there...
