Prince William joins East Anglian Air Ambulance to train as an Air Ambulance pilot

#PrinceWilliam #airambulance #KensingtonPalace #BondAirServices Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has joined East Anglian Air Ambulance and would be trained to take up the work of piloting an Air Ambulance. It is expected that he would fly rescue missions from this summer itself.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 30 March 2015.
Prince William is not new to flying – he is a former RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot, and has now begun work at Bond Air Services, which runs air ambulance operations in the UK. His new assignment has been confirmed by Kensington Palace.

In a statement, it has indicated that the Duke of Cambridge has started work as an employee of Bond Air Services and, over the coming months, will undertake job-specific training before he starts to pilot Air Ambulances during the summer. His training would involve simulator, aircraft and in-flight skills training.
He would probably operate out of East Anglian Air Ambulance's base at Cambridge Airport and would be at the controls of a new EC145 T2 helicopter which is expected to enter service in April. It would provide greater speed, endurance and capacity.
While Prince William will be the pilot, he would have with him a co-pilot, a specially trained critical care paramedic and a senior medic who would be a consultant who specializes in intensive care, anesthesia or trauma.
