Europe : Prince William to fly in RAF and NAVY
 
BY : telegraph.co.uk

Prince William to fly in RAF and NAVY


Prince William will next year fulfil his lifelong ambition to learn to fly when he joins the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.William will be the first modern Royal to serve in all three branches of the military in preparation for his role as King when he will become the head of the armed forces.


In learning to fly he is following in well trodden royal footsteps. The Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of York all qualified as pilots with the RAF.

Clarence House has announced that William, 25, will start a four month secondment with the RAF in January.

William, a second lieutenant in the Household Cavalry Regiment since completing his training at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst last December, will then spend the summer with the Royal Navy. He will work on submarines, surface ships and with the Fleet Air Arm.

When his secondment to the navy is completed, William will have a big decision to make about his future. He will have to decide whether to stay in the army or to pursue a career in civilian life. William will consult his father, the Queen, and Duke of Edinburgh to whom he is very close.

The announcement of his move to the RAF and Royal Navy has delighted the young prince who is second in line to the throne.

"His time with the RAF will... allow him to realise a lifetime ambition to learn to fly," a Clarence House spokesman has said. "He will be able to share the working lives of airmen and sailors."


William's temporary assignments follow a year of training as a specialist armoured reconnaissance troop leader in the Blues and Royals, where his younger brother Prince Harry, also serves.

The decision for William to spend time in the Royal Navy and the RAF is a reflection of the fact that, when he is King, he will be head of the Armed Forces.

The Clarence House spokesman added: "William has spent the last two years in Army. He would now like some familiarisation and understanding of both the RAF and the Royal Navy given the fact that one day he will be head of the Armed Forces."

Clarence House, which released photographs of William training at an Army base in Bovington, Dorset, said that he would be sent to a number of undisclosed military bases during his two secondments.

He joined the Army two years ago after taking a gap year from St Andrews University in Scotland where he graduated in geography.

In his first posting with the Blues and Royals, one of the two senior regiments that form the Household Cavalry which guards the Queen, he commanded a troop of four armoured reconnaissance vehicles, crewed by 12 men.

In learning to fly aircraft, William will be emulating his father's achievements more than 35 years ago. The Prince of Wales earned his "wings" in 1971, before going on to command a Royal Navy minesweeper, the HMS Bronington.

Prince Harry, who was also commissioned as an officer after training at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, was due to go to Iraq as a troop leader with the Blues and Royals Regiment.

But his deployment was cancelled because military commanders feared that the publicity would put the prince and his unit at a greater risk.

While he is in a military uniform William is guaranteed some privacy from the prying lenses of the paparazzi. Only last week Clarence House objected about the conduct of photographers as William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton left a London nightclub.

Following his forefathers

Edward VIII joined the Army in 1914, but he was not allowed to see active service in the First World War. However George VI, who became King when Edward abdicated in 1936, did serve in the Navy.

The Duke of Kent, the Queen's uncle, died in 1942 while on active service during the Second World War and Prince Philip had a distinguished career in the Navy during the war.

More recently Prince Andrew saw active service as a Sea King helicopter pilot during the Falklands conflict.

    Corporations like Boeing, Raytheon, Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Exxon, General Dynamics, General Electric really are great “tyrannical terrorists” who regularly destroy lives and livable ecology (as with global warming), undermine democracy, generate poverty and concentrate wealth and power at home and abroad.



    The broad populace of the West really is largely enslaved to the cancerous and authoritarian nightmare that is the profit-addicted, privileged-serving, human and environment-assaulting capitalist system.



    And that system really is “turn[ing] the entire world into a fiefdom of the major corporations under the label of ‘globalization’ in order to protect democracy.”



    All of that and much more is all too tragically true, sad to say – something that is well understood by much if not most of the morally and politically cognizant human race. And for what it’s worth, that understanding is deeply consistent with the world’s leading religious traditions (Islam included), all of which have always contained strong ethical objections to the savage wealth/class inequality, economic exploitation and narcissistic commercialism that lay at the dark heart of the deadly bourgeois mode of production, exchange, governance, and “life.”

    what the hell has this bastard to ddo with indian defence forum?

    Carroll Quigley
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    quote "Writings on the Anglo-American elite

    Quigley became well known among those who believe that there is an international conspiracy to bring about a one-world government. In his 1966 book, Tragedy and Hope, he based his analysis on his extensive research in the closely-held papers of an Anglo-American elite organization,[citation needed] to which he was given access.[citation needed] According to Quigley, the U.S. and UK governments were secretly controlled through a series of Round Table Groups, the group in the U.S. being the Council on Foreign Relations.[citation needed] He contended that both the Republican and Democratic parties were controlled by an "international Anglophile network" that shaped elections.

    The Anglo-American Establishment was not published until 1982, five years after Quigley's death, because of its controversial material:

    India hater Edolphus Towns voted for the N-deal!
    October 13th, 2007 by truthprevails

    This USINPAC seems to be a joke of an outfit. To use this disastrous one sided “landmark deal” as a benchmark to compare it with the pragmatic Jewish lobby is a terrible joke. So Sanjay Puri brags that we haven’t heard from Dan Burton lately due to USINPAC’s phenomenal lobbying. But of course the Dan Burtons and Edolphus Towns can take it easy if this is the kind of lobbying that USINPAC can pull off. Glancing at how those with a visceral hatred for India voted for the abominable Hyde Act, its interesting to see that while Burton and Cynthia McKinney refrained from voting, Towns actually voted for the deal!

    "We have gone to a point: Look, we are a swindle economy! We don't pay our debts! What do you think we owe the world, in terms of financial debt? We don't produce our own food; we steal it from other countries. We take it from them at the lowest possible prices, then we don't pay for what we bought! That's the present system. Have you looked at the accounts recently? The United States is one of the biggest swindlers in the world. It's only a smaller swindler, compared to the British."

    quote--"

    This interview appears in the June 15, 2007 issue of Executive Intelligence Review.
    LAROUCHE TO RUSSIAN JOURNAL
    `The Enemy of Russia Is London'

    In an interview given May 16, 2007 in Moscow to Andrei Kobyakov, director of the Russian web publication RPMonitor (www.rpmonitor.ru), Lyndon LaRouche addressed the British roots and control of current provocations against Russia in Europe. The excerpts provided here were transcribed by EIR from the audio tape and are pre-published with permission of RPMonitor.

    LaRouche: The enemy was Britain in 1945-46; the enemy of Russia is Britain today. It's not the United States, it's Britain. It's London, what it represents as a financial clique center of the world. Since 1971-72, the British have taken control, politically, of the dollar. The dollar is a reserve currency that controls the world's fate today, but it's actually controlled from London. And the question is, to get the dollar back out of the hands of London and to reorganize the world financial system.

    So, we must defeat London now, or there's no chance for the future....

    I think senior people in Russia do not think that the United States is the problem. They think that the United States is key to the problem, but that Britain is the enemy. Anyone who understands this knows that Britain is the enemy. The British Empire.

    Fri, 09 Nov 2007 02:55:13
    Under the new scenario the Iranian gas can also be exported to China.
    In a major development, Pakistan and Iran have crossed the last stumbling block in the way of a piped gas deal by agreeing on a pricing formula.
    "

    "According to the officials, under the new scenario in the wake of India's evasive attitude as Indian experts did not participate in the recently held meeting in Tehran and the ongoing meeting in Islamabad, both Iran and Pakistan have decided to materialize the project.

    "We have also asked Iranian authorities that the gas to be imported from Iran can also be exported to China as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as the western part of that country has a shortage of energy", said the Pakistani official.--"
