    Prince Harry to return to front line!

    Has Prince Harry been overdosing on tales of daring-do by his ancestors like Richard the Lionheart, Henry V, The Black Prince, Prince Rupert and of course our beloved King William III? More recently his grandfather Prince Philip fought naval battles in WW2 and his uncle the Duke of York airlifted wounded sailors off the deck of burning destroyers in the Falklands War .

    Flying a helicopter into battle would be the modern equivalent of riding a charger into battle while clad in a suit of mail holding a lance under your arm or flailing the heads of peasants with a mace or a sabre wouldn't it?

    Is this pure egoism or is this a boy born with a silver spoon up his rectum who wants to put his life on the line for his country rather than live in a palace or both?






    In a marked departure from the media blackout agreed during his previous tour of Helmand, the Ministry of Defence made it clear in an announcement last night that Prince Harry will be expected to fly in combat.

    No date has been announced for his four-month tour of duty, which will be subject to review by senior generals and even the Prime Minister until the last minute. But the MoD decided no blackout was necessary this time because the Prince will be far less vulnerable as a pilot than he was when he went on foot patrols four years ago.

    In his role as co-pilot gunner in a two-man crew, the Prince will operate the aircraft’s weapon systems, which include Hellfire missiles and a 30mm chain gun. Flying out of Camp Bastion, he will also be expected to provide air cover on missions by special forces.

    I have just seen the Sky news, I watched the anchor man talk to some puppet, about young Hewitts exploits. Crikey do the brits really believe this sh!t, the two of them were waiting to break out laughing over what they had too say, is this for real.
    Willy Wonka was with him, I thought he was down in the Malvinas, keeping the sheep happy. Can you believe anything on the news lately.
