Frontline action beckons as Prince Harry completes pilot's course
PRINCE Harry's hopes of returning to frontline action in Afghanistan have been given a major boost after it was announced that he had passed his army pilot's course.
The 25-year-old was told that he had completed his training and was also informed he had the ability to fly either the Lynx or Apache helicopters.
The prince has until his graduation ceremony next Friday to decide which aircraft he would like to specialise in, and his preference will be taken into consideration when military commanders make their final decision.
Lieutenant Harry Wales served in Afghanistan's Helmand Province as a forward air controller directing air strikes for ten weeks in 2007-8 and is keen to return.
The prince changed the direction of his military career and became a pilot to increase his chances of being deployed to the country.
