William defends copter trips
PRINCE William spoke out yesterday about his controversial helicopter trips that have been criticised as an abuse of his RAF training.
During a visit to south Wales, William said he had been "accused of wasting money" by "joyriding" in the military aircraft.
But he appeared to defend the flights, telling a pensioner he has been trying to clock up as many hours in the air as he can as he tries to earn a flying qualification.
William has been criticised after it emerged that he was allowed to fly Chinook helicopters to a stag party on the Isle of Wight and to his girlfriend's family home.
The Prince made the comments during a visit to Penygraig.
