Prince Harry one step closer to winning helicopter wings

London, January 31 (ANI): Prince Harry has come one step closer to realising his dream of returning to the Afghanistan frontline as an Apache gunship pilot.

The 25-year-old Royal was said to have bagged "dismal" marks on his earliest flying lessons after passing his first grading as a helicopter flier.

"He said one of the ten people he was training with didn't make the grade and he was just relieved that it wasn't him!" the Daily Star quoted a guest who met the prince as saying.

A source at the Army Air Corps tuition centre in Hampshire added: "He is absolutely determined to go back to Afghanistan in a helicopter and has worked very hard to get so far." (ANI)
