He's been tipped for a new career as a
pilot in the Royal Air Ambulance service, and today, Prince William
appeared to confirm his new role after asking to be shown around a
Scottish Air Ambulance helicopter during a visit to Scotland.
Arriving at the Strathearn Community College in the small town of Crieff with his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge in their first official engagement since the tour of Australia and New Zealand, the Duke made a beeline for the helicopter which was parked on the college playing field.
William, 31, had asked, through his office, to meet the crew, staff and charity trustees. 'He was really really keen,' said John Pritchard, lead paramedic on the helicopter. 'He was really keen to see how we work.'
Earlier this week, it emerged that the second in line the throne, who left his job as an RAF search and rescue pilot in September, is considering returning to flying as a career from this September, possibly as a helicopter pilot for the air ambulance service in East Anglia.
