The Prince of Wales served at RAF Valley in North Wales for three years.
The Prince of Wales has been reunited with his flying instructor on a nostalgic visit to his former air base.
The prince, who served at the base for three years, became Royal Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Valley last August after taking over the role from the King.After his umbrella blew inside out when he arrived on Tuesday, he told crews: “It wouldn’t feel like home if I wasn’t back here on a day like this.”
The prince and the Princess of Wales, who is undergoing cancer treatment, lived together on Anglesey as newlyweds when he served as an RAF search and rescue pilot at the base from 2010 to 2013. He said the prince had stayed in touch, sending a bottle of whisky and a birthday card when he turned 50 two years ago.During the visit, William joined fire crews in a simulation exercise, operating a hose from inside a fire engine to put out flames on an “iron hawk” jet, used for the practice drills.He joked he had been “trying to get the media with the hose” but the crew with him were “very well-behaved”.
