The second-in-line to the throne will join 22 Squadron after his military studies are complete in September and will fly as a fully-operational co-pilot in a Sea King 3A helicopter.

All students on William's course were asked to submit two preferences for their posting and the royal's other choice was RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland. The decision on the prince's posting was taken by the RAF chain of command, said St James' Palace.
