Prince Harry to remain in the Army but would not fly


#PrinceHarry #Apachepilot #InvictusGames #WalkingWithTheWounded Prince Harry had been an Apache pilot in Afghanistan and he had, at one time, described his role as an Apache pilot fighting the Taliban as ‘the best experience ever’ but, it seems, he does not want to fly again as a combat helicopter again. This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 21 February 2015.
For al practical purposes, Prince Harry, who spent five months in the cockpit of a gunship in Afghanistan, has now decided to hang up his flying goggles in spite of the fact that there is a shortage of pilots in the Army.
The 30-year-old Prince Harry or Captain Wales as he is called in the Forces, was expected to return to the skies with the Army Air Corps after arranging the Invictus Games. This is an Olympic-style event for wounded service personnel that was held in London last year. However, it now appears that he has informed the top brass in the military that he wants to continue working with injured troops. Subsequently, he would return next year to his parent regiment, the Blues and Royals.
It is understood that this summer he would join a team of injured soldiers in their walk across Britain in aid of the charity Walking With The Wounded.
