Prince William Gets His Chopper Out Once Again


Prince William has made a secret visit to meet British troops in Afghanistan.

William, 25, spent three hours with UK service personnel at an airfield in Kandahar on Monday before flying home.

Clarence House said the trip, planned since 2007, was to familiarise William with RAF missions but publicist Max Clifford said it was a "PR exercise".

William Can't Wait to Show Kate his Big Chopper

Defence officials have justified giving Prince William permission to land a helicopter in a field belonging to his girlfriend Kate Middleton's family. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) issued a statement after it was reported William touched down at the Middletons' Berkshire home on the 3rd of April. Officials said the sortie had been fully authorised as part of the prince's attachment to the RAF. The flight was described as "ridiculous and inappropriate" by aviation author Jon Laker ."This is an absolute waste of training hours on the Chinook helicopter that the military are hard-pressed to afford," .
