Prince Harry told how he was a "basket case" on his first solo flight at RAF Shawbury as he shared about his time in Shropshire in his memoir.The Duke of Sussex trained to be a helicopter pilot alongside his brother Prince William in 2009 and 2010.
"In no time we were lifting off, rotors beating the frothy clouds, one of the greatest physical sensations anyone can experience. The purest form of flying, in many ways.

We talked among ourselves about these little b******s, these invisible gremlins. We grew to hate them, to dread the shame and rage that came with being bested by them yet again. None of us could work out how to restore the aircraft's equilibrium and put it on the deck without denting the fuselage.
"Several student pilots had to abort their landings that day. One had to set down on a nearby patch of grass. One landed so hot and wobbly, fire trucks and an ambulance rushed to the scene.
