Yes. In the words of Mel Brooks.. It's good to be the king (well, nearly anyway)

I'm not so sure about this F/Lt William Wales lark though. I might start calling myself David W Berkshire

One of my favorite songs actually , from 3:50 to the end ... lovely melody that part.

In all seriousness...I commend him and I hope he finds whatever he is looking for in life.

A good achievement for the young prince. well done. Im sure he will be a good king one day,hopefully not too soon or all that very expensive RAF training will all be in vain.

Well Joe.. yes and no. Tom Petty wrote my sig.. I'm learnin' to fly, but I aint got wings (one of my favourites) but in the song you've highlighted, he said it's good to be King. I was thinking more along the lines of..

Am I the only one who finds it slightly ironic the future heir to the throne is now qualified to fly a Sea King?

Still, good luck to him, next time I see a yellow Sea King buzzing over the RAF training site up in the mountains the back of Fairbourne I'll give it a wave just in case. Actually, there's a good chance he'll be popping over as the RAF training centre in Fairbourne often do training exercises in the hills around here.

In helicopters the PIC is in the left seat.
