Question

Do anyone knows any lattest news about prince william?

Answer 1

Prince William received his badge after spending four months with the Royal Air Force learning to pilot helicopters and planes. His study was designed to make him a competent, but not operational, flier. British fighter jet pilots normally spend up to four years under instruction. The course is part of the 25-year-old William's preparations to eventually become king, when he will become the ceremonial head of Britain's armed forces. He is already an army officer and is due to serve a tour overseas, most likely aboard a navy warship.

Note: Prince William is following in the footsteps of his father, Prince Charles, who passed his training in 1971, his grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh, who earned his wings in 1953, and his great-grandfather Prince Albert, later King George VI, who became the first royal to serve in the RAF, between 1918 and 1919.

"Prince William is presented with his wings by his father The Prince of Wales

11th April 2008

Prince William received his RAF wings from his proud father The Prince of Wales today after completing an intensive flying course.

After more than 12 weeks training, the young royal became the fourth successive generation of the monarchy to become an RAF pilot.

At a ceremony held in the service's spiritual home, RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire, The Prince of Wales awarded his son his wings as The Duchess of Cornwall looked on.

The Prince has followed in the footsteps of The Prince of Wales and his grandfather The Duke of Edinburgh, who both earned the RAF flying badge.

The Prince's great-grandfather Prince Albert, later King George VI, was the first royal to serve in the RAF, between 1918 and 1919.

Before the presentations began at RAF Cranwell's College Hall, Group Captain Nigel Wharmby, the station's commanding officer, told the audience: "The graduates here today are very special people and that is why we recognise their accomplishments in this ceremony.

"To those who fly today, these badges are the most coveted of all our insignia and rightly so.

"To all the graduates, I say remember this day with great pride and enjoy it, you have most definitely earned it."

In a speech to the graduates, Air Chief Marshal Sir Glenn Torpy, chief of the air staff, said: "This is probably one of the most significant milestones in an aviator's career.

"It's something that not many people can do and you should be very proud of what you have done.

"It has been and was the start of a hugely rewarding and hugely enjoyable career (for me) over the past 30 years. What it brings back to me are the huge challenges when I joined the service.

"We were at the height of the Cold War and deterrent was the name of the game. What we were trying to do was send a message, a very strong message, to the enemy.

"Now, with the end of the Cold War, we have seen a move to expeditionary operations. At the moment we have the highest level of operation commitment that I have seen in the last 30 years. But what I can say is that the training we give you is the best I've ever seen."

Flight Lieutenant Simon Berry, 26, from Twickenham, West London took part in the Griffin training course at RAF Shawbury at the same time that William trained at the base.

He said: "William was socialising with everyone, we saw him round with everyone, he was just a normal bloke, a normal guy and very sociable. He was working really hard, he was flying in the morning, coming down and doing two hours of flight school and then working all hours in the evenings like everyone else.

"We were flying once a day but due to the demands of his course he was doing two or even three trips a day."

Flight Lieutenant Berry is travelling out to Basra in Iraq for a two-month acclimatisation course before he is sent there on live operations as a Chinook pilot.

Wing Commander Andy Lovell helped to train Prince William and carried out his final test that earned him his wings.

He said: "William was very good. I was very impressed by his flying skills. He had a natural handling ability and he was very quick to learn. He responded well to instructions and demonstrated plenty of spare capacity. He was a very good student all round. Our students are equally important, we enjoy the job of teaching them. They are going to go on to do amazing things and it's the beginning of an amazing journey for them."

The Prince of Wales was invited to the stage to present insignias to graduates who had either completed their basic fast jet training, multi-engine advanced rotary wing course or crewman course.

His Royal Highness completed his own flying training at RAF Cranwell in August 1971 and graduated that year as a Flight Lieutenant but over the years has been promoted and now holds the rank of Air Chief Marshal.

During the ceremony he shook the hand of each airman and shared a few words with them before posing for a picture.

When Prince William's turn came he was announced as Flying Officer William Wales and walked on to the stage, waiting a few moments before striding towards his father.

Father and son smiled broadly at each other and shook hands before The Prince of Wales fixed the wings to his son’s uniform.

Prince William, an officer in the Household Cavalry regiment (Blues and Royals), has completed a shortened course that included time flying fast propeller-powered planes and helicopters.

It was designed to make him a competent but not operational flier, as an RAF pilot would normally spend up to four years under instruction.

Watching in the audience was Prince William’s aunt, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the sister of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.

Later at a reception before lunch The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall met the families of the RAF pilots and ground crew who had just received their wings."
