The Ministry of Defence has defended the actions of Prince William who used a helicopter training exercise to fly himself and his brother to a stag do.

The MoD stressed that the sortie was always planned as part of William's training and included all the elements being tested - flying in busy air traffic, crossing water and landing in an enclosed helicopter pad.

He used a MOD helicopter to go to a stag do for fecks sake. Bottom line.

Was it a Chinook? Cos he was down at RAF St Mawgan a few weeks ago, and you could tell when he came and left cos they flew him in TWO fuck off great big Chinooks ,the ones with two rotor blades. (also the ones they move to shift Jo Brand about I think)

How they need TWO of em I'll never know though, but they are amazing machines, even when going full bore the engine sounds like it is just ticking over.

Back on to the main topic though..... I'm not surprised at all.......

I'm surprised it was allowed for one particular reason: What if he had an accident and killed them both?
And isnt it a bit like that govt ministers wife who did the family shopping at sainsbury and stuck it in with the house of commons food bill, or have i got that story wrong?
This helicopter thang, a bit of a piss take methinks. Bet no one else would have been allowed to do it.
