Prince William Gets A Chopper Job With Kate
PRINCE William is landing a helicopter in girlfriend Kate Middleton’s garden.
He was only supposed to hover at 15ft and so dry the Middletons’ washing, and there is understandable “outrage” that he should have found cause to land.
The Express finds an “aviation analyst” to say: “This is an absolute waste of training hours on the Chinook helicopter that the military are hard-press to afford.”
The Sun puts the cost of the landing at £30,000, and Anorak suggests that next time Wills picks up Kate he lowers a knotted rope so cutting down on the expense.
Says one voice in the Sun: “If the Middletons had been tooled up with AK47s to resist the landing, it might have had training value.”
But Wills is not Prince Eddie, and the Middletons have no need to be afraid, unless, of course, Wills is blinded by a flash of light and finds cause to crash into the family’s kitchen-diner…

…when all around you are losing their heads, go land your helicopter somewhere else…

Ah… but he’s ’special’, he’s got a double ended chopper.

I bet all graduates do it, but we don’t get to know about it!

the Sun’s right (for once!) - it would have been much more entertaining and worthwhile if the Middletons had been allowed to take pot shots at him - surely much more realistic for his “training” as well…?

Do you remember the Middleton’s - a woman’s magazine ran it for years, life with the Middletons.
